Recording Session: Tall, Three Snakes and One Charm
Record: Tall (released as "Lost Crowes"), Three Snakes and One Charm
Live Debut: 01/31/1995

Notes: This song was first recorded during the sessions for Tall and was to be included
the album. It was not used on Amorica, but it was played occasionally throughout the
Amorica or Bust and H.O.R.D.E. tours.
The song was then rearranged and re-recorded during the sessions for Three Snakes & One
The Tall version has some different lyrics than the Three Snakes & One Charm version,
a completely different chorus.

This part can be played at a few positions on the neck, but I like this one the best for
strange reason.
