Fantastic new song from Travis from the album The Boy With No Name. You'll struggle to 
a better live band.

I messed about on my guitar for about half an hour and came up with this. I'm pretty 
this is about right. It sounds a wee bit like 'Side'.

Capo 3rd Fret

Em:     0-2-2-0-0-0-|
Emadd9: 0-2-4-0-0-0----------|
