Important Notes: I have no idea how anyone could give this tab a low rating. I have
listened to this song countless times with high end audio equipment, and even talked to
Mat Kearney after the acoustic concert in Pittsburgh last summer. He confirmed the
chords for this song for me. He also told me he plays this song a little differently live than
in the studio
version. He basically will play whichever suspended chords he feels like. So you can
interchange a Dsus4/F# with a Dsus2/F# if you want to, or play Em7 as (022033) or
(022030), etc. He mixes it up. As long as you play the same chord, you'll be playing
it the way he plays it.
Also: FULL CREDIT goes to Mr. John McGann for tabbing out the Bridge of the studio
version of this song. John is an excellent musician, and a PROFESSIONAL MUSIC TRANSCRIBER.
I appreciate his help in hearing that part. Everything else tabbed by Eric.
