---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- the way down, you can just put a capo on the eighth fret, same key so it sounds alright, just obviously sounds alot higher) I'll tab it out basically as I hear it/play it, but as with many C&C songs Dallas just tends to play about the whole way through, continually changing it. So while this is a basic pattern, it's not the definitive one, so just play about with it yourself until you think it sounds right. Oh, and you can't really play this properly with a pick, so hand pick it! There are 3 main chords used through out the song (with an exception of a bit in the intro), and i'll pu them here, so that if you really can't follow the tab (which i accept is hard to follow, sorry!) then you can work it out on your own, but i hope this tab will go some way to helping!

 It's a lonesome and distant cry
 Now I'm runnin' for my life
 way from his mind I think i
 Might know

Second verse carries on like this, although i think that the verse ends with the C,C/A,G7, like the first part of the intro, and possilbe all subsequent verses end like this too, but cause of the tuning being quite low it's hard to hear (plus i'm really not that great)

[Chorus]
 x3, with the 4th time leading into the Am. You can play this like the intro, but i don't
 think it's picked as much. Just alternate between strumming the bottom three or so and
 the top three strings

[Verse 3] [Chorus] [Verse 4] [Chorus] (til end) As the song progresses it becomes more strummed, like the chorus, than picked like it is in the inrto. Just play it how you think is best though! ************************************ | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | / Slide up ************************************
