Just a few changes to some of the other tabs out there that I couldn't get to
sound quite right. I think the others used the MTV live Dave appearance for
theirs, but the album version, which I used, sounds a bit different.


G (occasionally don't mute - let the last notes ring)
E|------------3----------X-X-) E|------------3-----------X-X-)

B|------------3----------M-M-) B|------------3-----------M-M-)
G|------------4----------U-U-) G|------------4-----------U-U-)
D|-------5----3----3-5---T-T-) D|-------5----3----10-12--T-T-)
A|-----5-----------------E-E-) A|-----5------------------E-E-)
E|---3-----3-------------X-X-) E|---3-----3--------------X-X-)

Driving through the desert I met a man...

he told me of his crazy plan,

F C
E|--1----3-----)
B|--1----5-----)
G|--2----5 ----)
D|--3----5-----)
A|--3----3-----)
E|--1----X-----)

he'd been walking there for twenty days,

Same G progression as above
E|------------3----------X-X-) E|------------3-----------X-X-)
B|------------3----------M-M-) B|------------3-----------M-M-)
G|------------4----------U-U-) G|------------4-----------U-U-)
D|-------5----3----3-5---T-T-) D|-------5----3----10-12--T-T-)
A|-----5-----------------E-E-) A|-----5------------------E-E-)
E|---3-----3-------------X-X-) E|---3-----3--------------X-X-)

He was gonna walk on, for twenty more.
