Big Sky - Tab

Tabbed by weev (timbob29@idt.net)
holy shit i cant believe i did it :)
i guess maybe watching the reverend do this song over and
over at live performances, and also the fact that ive been
playing guitar a lot longer than when i first started
tabbing and enjoying the rev made the difference. anyways,
hope it sounds right to you!  im surprised at how few
times i was stumped
