Years of listening to this song prompted me to finally sit down and figure it out. Since
one else has it tabbed and considering Yo La's goofy tuning style, this was not easy.
I found something that sounds quite close. Remember not to get confused with the bass (I 
they use a 6 string) during the verse. First tab sorry if it sux.
