Walking wounded with a belly full of pain and 
a big bad attitude. 
We are shaking shadows for that perfect dark room 
where we can do just what we want to do.

Suggestion from Hugh Yik (hyik@nb.sympatico.ca)

the F# should be a full bar chord on the lower octave.
rather than the high F#

Suggestion from Troy Blaker (tblaker@kiva.net)

I was playing misery whip on my 12 string and then I listened to the
cd.  I think that the intro is on his taylor 12 srting.  To be in fact
I'm damn sure of it.
later, Troy
