The [Amaj7]shaking awful, I'm shaking, asshole

N.C.
and the other doesn't (possibly tuned
fret. On the studio version it sounds
like there are a couple guitars plus a lap pedal steel. I tabbed this to be
an easy way to play along with
the album without having to tune down. It's a really cool song and there
might be some sort of subtle
pitch bending effect on the guitars which makes it sound unique.
