"She's My Ride Home" by Blue October

Notes:
• Since this song has several guitar parts and several different elements going on
I've transcribed it as a compilation tab. In doing so, I changed the fingerings for how the
theme is played to fit better with the rest of the acoustic chord fingerings. If you
to play just the hollow body guitar part that plays the Intro theme throughout the song,
fingerings for that are listed down at the bottom, below the compilation tab. But if
just playing this song by yourself, you'll probably want to go with this compilation 
Alright...enjoy!

Intro
(Pick)
• Repeat throughout intro
• The three chords that you finger here are x10xx8x, x8xx6x, and x7xx5x; they are
shaped like a C chord
• Due to the delay effect in this part, the exact order in which you play the strings
all that crucial--it's kind of up to you
