NOTE: Jay Smith does many versions of this song. He plays it in many different keys and changes the lyrics, etc. So what I decided was to tab the CD version (which I believe this to be) and then someone requested a live version of which there are many to choose from. For all of the tabs here I included the video I used to make the tabs from. Please take this into consideration when using these tabs.

I do believe that Jay Smith is either tuned down a half step or more and/or in an alternate tuning. This explains why the chords here are NOT the ones he plays in this live version but sound like them.
