Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jake Denmark This is a great cover of the Bob Dylan song from Nickel Creek's "Why Should the Fire Die?" album. It's not exactly how they play it, but it sounds close and it's easy to play on a single guitar. Tuning: Standard - Capo III
