Many thanks to Pat Hillis who tabbed most of this with minimal help from
me! When I play the 12th fret chord I mix in a little harmonics ala Joni
but since my guitar is old and doesn't ring the way it used to it doesn't
sound great all the time.

People don't know how to love
They taste it and toss it
Turn it off and on like a bathtub faucet
Oh, sometimes the light
Can be so hard to find
At least the moon at the window
The thieves left that behind.
