The song is in 6/8, each chord delineated below represents 1/2 measure or

approximations.

D5 D5 C9 Eb5 D Dsus4 D D
(Interlude)
D5 D5/E D5/G D5/F# D5/C D5/C D5/C D5/C (x2)
(Verse 2 - just like 1, except for a tacet near the end that you'll
know where to place from listening to the recording)
(Repeat Refrain)
Notes:
Drop D tuning (DADGBE) is suggested. For the most part, play the D5 by
just playing a D chord and muting the high-E string. The exception is
the interlude, where if you can reach your pinky up to grab an upper A
(5th fret), you'll get a much more interesting imitation of the actual
song.
The 2nd and 3rd chord may actually be variants of G6, rather than D5.
Playing them as (X2003X) and (X4003X) sounds just as good, possibly
more exotic than the D5 variations (X2023X) and (X4023X).
The only remotely weird chord is the C#dim (X45650). Play the D-Gm-D
by sliding from the D into a short version of Gm (XXX333) and back
to D again.

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 INDIGO GIRLS 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.
