Originally tabbed by: Pete Rasche
Re-tabbed by: Kevin League (mleague@mindspring.com)
Pete Rasche posted this song already, but I found many mistakes in key
parts of the song, so I decided to correct them and add a few
things(including the solo).
This main riff is played by one guitar during the verse. The other guitar
plays E and A.

VERSE 3
I was the one full of whiskey and talk
I was the one with the skip in my walk
You say the truth hurts, well so does a liar
My heart`s a flame that pains.....
CHORUS
(repeated with A E chords into MAIN RIFF close)
That`s about it. The solo might take a little practice to get right. Laterz!
