Capo 2 in A (B), standard-tuned six-string acoustic.  Moderate tempo in 4.

This is as close to a finished product tab as I'm going.  I could try and 
actually tab out all the stuff derek does, but instead I just went a little 
overboard on chord fingerings.

Anyway, this is the lead guitar part.  For now you can get an accurate tab 
of Cliff's rhythm part at caedmons-call.com as tabbed by Brett McLaughlin 
.  A couple corrections for if you're going to be playing his 
rhythm tab along with this lead tab: the second line of verses two and three 
Brett has as G, Am7, C, D--it should be G, D, C, D; just the opposite for the 
second line of verse four, where Brett has G, D, C, D--it should be G, Am7, C, 
D.  Otherwise the two parts might not mesh well.  Also note that Cliff's part 
does not actually start until the second verse and drops out for the outro.

Derek actually plays this tuned open G9/D (DGDGAD) capo 4, but this 
standard tuned version works OK.  But for those willing to break strings I've 
also listed the DGDGAD fingerings I use.  I named all the chords accurately (as 
far as I know) for the standard fingerings, so some of the names might be wrong 
for the DGDGAD fingerings (not to mention that they're all off by a whole step 
since the capos are at different frets), but they all correspond as far as 
playing, which of course is all we really care about.

Derek made the comment to me, something like in standard tuning "you're not 
going to be able to get ALL the notes."  Not a direct quote, but that was the 
gist.  However, as far as I can tell, you can still get quite close as far as 
notes.  Either way, the "not-notes", the muted strokes, are going to be hard to 
do if you're trying to play like derek.  Good luck.  You're probably going to 
have to listen to the CD to learn this.

Use extensive palm-muting for the flat-picking in the intro and verses--
strum the bridges and choruses.  The rhythm guitar (Cliff) enters after bridge 1 
where you repeat the intro.  The bass (Aric) enters at verse 3, stops for verse 
4, and returns at bridge 3.  Everything except lead guitar (derek) and a shaker 
(Todd) drops out for the outro.

020000   022200    Esus4(no 3)   } as E*.  what it is is E(no 3) for almost a
024000   026200    Esus4         } whole measure, Esus4(no 3) for the last half
                                   beat of that measure, and Esus4 for the full
244000   200200    D9sus6/F#       next measure.  i really like the dissonance.
