This song couldn't possibly kick any more ass. I'm serious.
It could try, but I doubt it could. There's simply no more
ass to kick.
It's a fairly slow tempo,changing a little bit during the
harmonica and guitar solos, but that doesn't detract from
the total ass-whoopin this song gives you. I've given the
chord names just for the hell of it.
By the way, you have to search the CD to find the song.
It's not on the tape. It's song #21 starting at precisely
-5:04 minutes. I go to 20 and fast-forward 2:30. It's well
worth it. Enjoy.
(acoustic guitar)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official GALACTIC COWBOYS tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
