this is a great song and i couldn’t find a good tab for it so i decided to make one .
is my first tab so be gentle .

this strum pattern isn’t exactly right but it sounds pretty close .
D * dud * du * ud * D

on the last up stroke i like to play the a string open when playing the E chord and when
the a chord play the B string open . sounds a lot more like the song . i only do this
the beginning of each verse .

down where i born it was heaven on earth .

there’s a lot about life you can learn on a bus ,
