Ring @ B string, 3rd fret. Middle @ E string, 2nd fret. Follow a similar picking pattern for the verses, but simpler. This is, in my mind, one of the greatest acoustic songs ever. There are bass runs on the D throughout the song similar to those tabbed above. Enjoy. Chris. Verse 1. D G D They were hiding behind hay bales, they were planting in the full moon D/C# D/B D/A G A They had given all they had for something new D G D But the light of day was on them, they could see the thrashers coming D/C# D/B D/A G A G And the water shone like diamonds in the dew. A D G And I was just getting up, hit the road before it?s light A D Dmaj7 (alternating) Tryin? to catch an hour on the sun. G A D D/C# D/B D/A When I saw those thrashers rollin? by, looking more than two lanes wide G Em7 A I was feelin like my day had just begun You can find the rest of the verses @ this songs sister page. Hey, hey, Neil can play, and those words!
