we'll it seems even the chord prog at that point seems a little off but every tab I've ever seen for this song is the same?

well I see that we have Tenn Jed on our set list for one of our next shows, so I will have to work on that again and maybe come up with an answer for you

That would be grate! I can play the whole song except that one freakin' part that never sounds right, throws the whole thing off. Love to get it just exactly perfect!

sorry man, but theres no such thing as playing it perfect. just close enough so nobody knows your full of shit. the man who wrote it plays it right. we just play our take on it.
just a random pointless thought

peace and love

another deadhead bassist (pUNK from Fungus, killer bassist) and he replied to me....

I looked up a tab that said:

C Co7 Dm7 C7
You know you bound to wind up dead

I think what I play is:

C B F C7
You know you bound to wind up dead

'hard to say w/o a fiddle in my hand.
