10000 Maniacs - Hey Jack Kerouac guitar tab

Here's my version of 10000 Maniacs "Hey Jack Kerouac". During

the prechorus you can throw in some Chuck Berry 6ths (Listen to

the record to see what I mean). I'll put them in the chord

chart, but I'm not going to list them in the song to avoid

confusion.

CAPO on the first fret!!!!!!! (ie E = F)
