-Shantel | 11/25/2002 | Shantel--great work again! where can i get that other version at? my email is povambck@aol.com
thanks, chris -cpova | 2/24/2005 | Sorry I have no idea...I downloaded it when song first was released (before the album came out) but I deleted the mp3 I had. You could try Kazaa or WinMX and see if you can find it, that's where I got it. -Shantel | 2/25/2005 | Shantel, I recently saw this song performed live. Steve was solo, and played guitar.I watched closely and immediately noticed he had a Guild acoustic guitar with a capo at the first fret. Your chords were dead on, excellent job, and thanks for all your hard work posting tabs for us!:)P.S. Here's my intro to the song from watching Steve play!pre> Capo 1st fret Intro e 0h2 b 3 g 2 2 2 2 2 d 2 2 2 2 0 a 0 0 E 0 2h4 4 2 0 -bestboozz | 3/2/2005 | thanks shantel. is that WinMX TOTALLY safe? i trust you & all but dont want nuthin funny happenin on my PC chris -cpova | 3/3/2005 | Nothing on the internet is guaranteed safe (cause it all depends if someone is putting viruses out for fun) but I've downloaded a lot off WinMX and never had a problem for what that's worth. -Shantel | 3/3/2005 | thanks alot. i'll try that then. chris -cpova | 3/6/2005 |
