+Minnesota Tab
-minnesota. from the fabulous mountain goats release "full force galesburg"
-written by john darnielle
-tab by Russ Sweetser - yarzrevenge@yahoo.com
+I just tried to edit the existing tab, which was close to correct
+but has a few problems.  The biggest thing is that it was missing
+the Am during the chorus part, and just had a C.  You can hear he
+does a walkdown on the A string from C to Am.
-G = 3 5 5 5 3 3
+The D* means play a normal D but hammer on and off on the G string
-C = 8 10 10 10 8 8
+a couple of times.  You also dont have to... I think it was labelled
-B/E = 7 7 5 5 X X
+a Dsus in the other tab but I don't think that's correct.
-A/D = 5 5 7 7 X X
+Also I find the C sounds good if you play C9 - which makes for
+an easier transition too.
+C9 = 3
