key: Dm
E|---------------------------------------|

Tuning: CFCFC  (Open F- open G a full step down)

This song was a little bit tougher to figure out because on both the studio and live
Rich's guitar is drenched with a Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere.  What little video exists
this song live doesn't offer very many shots of Rich's hand, so I had to go pretty much 
ear on this one.

Verse:
E|--------------------2--|
B|--------------------0--|
G|-----------------------|
D|--------------------2--|
A|------------3p0--------|
E|--2-2-3-5-2-----3-3-2--|

This is the main riff, but every once in a while, one of these is thrown in:

E|------------------------|
B|---------------------9--|
G|---------------------7--|
D|---------------------9--|
A|------------3p0---------|
E|--2-2-3-5-2-----3-3-----|

As with most Black Crowes songs, the verse riff features a lot of little variations that
not going to sit here and tab out.  Have fun with it.
