VENGEANCE IS SLEEPING - Neko Case

Note: I had to work out how to play this live without much messing about, so it's not
accurate to the record - to get that you'll have to detune your low E string to D, and
finger position accordingly! (For clues, there's a video on youtube where
someone's accidentally just filmed the guitarist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FEYxc14ZUQ)

D=xx0232 D6=xx0202 Em=0x2000
