From TOB's fifth album, Davy Jones' Locker. Tab by Michael Gerchufsky. mgerchufsky@yahoo.com. January 16, 2003. Notes: Capo 2nd fret. For simplicity’s sake, non-bar chord names refer to finger pattern, not actual chord played (e.g., the D is really an E). Not sure of the name of the C-based chord in the refrain that I’ve called “C?” I could never figure out what that chord really was (I used to just play a natural C) until I saw Oed play it at the Philly show on Nov. 1, 2002. Here is how he does it: Press the E and A strings with your thumb, and mute the D string with the tip of your thumb. Play the rest of the strings open. Also, only briefly travel through the Fm in the verses and the G11 in the refrain.
