There are significant errors in this tab, which would greatly effect how it sounds.

Here are corrections:

You might chose to play the circled note in the middle there just as it was written by Rice, but it sounds wacked to me and I suspect he 'may' have meant it to be the 1st fret on 2nd string.  You choose.  :)   But the other things are definitely errors in the tab.

The version in Tim's new instructional book is fine, by the way.   ;)

It is in Buckley 1868...ever look at that page with 3 lines that don't match the title? It is somewhere around page 7 or 8 or something. Anyway, the first tune is right but short, and then all of a sudden it is "Hear him Johnny hear Him".

Oddest typo of all. That song is cursed.
