The lick is very simplified and i know there is a lot more going on but if anyone wants ill do it for banjo too. Or guitar if no-one owns a banjo or mandolin. If the actual structure of the tab looks crap then just copy it into Word as Courier New and it should re-align. E---------------------|---------------------|-------------------|--------------- A---------------------|--------0-2-(2-2-22)-|-0-2-5-2-0-2-0-----|--------------- D-2h4-4-2h4-4-2h4-2-0-|--0-2-4--------------|---------------4-2-|-2h4-4-2h4-2-0- G---------------------|---------------------|-------------------|--------------- The chords aren't in exact places, but youll get the idea pretty easily. I am Kilrain and I'm a fightin' man and I come from County Clare And the Brits would hang me for a Fenian so I took me leave of there And I crossed the ocean in the "Arrianne", the vilest tub afloat And the captain's brother was a railroad man and he met us at the boat So I joined up with the 20th Maine like I said my friend I'm a fighting man And we're marchin' south in the pouring rain We're all goin' down to Dixieland I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine and we fight for Chamberlain D Bm 'Cause he stood right with us when the Johnnies came like a banshee on the wind In the smoke smeared hell of Gettysburg many a mother wept D Bm For many a good boy died there, sure, and the air smelt just like death I am the Kilrain of the 20th Maine and I marched to hell and back again For Colonel Joshua Chamberlain - we're all goin' down to Dixieland I am the Kilrain of the 20th Maine and I damn all gentlemen D Bm Whose only worth is their father's name and the sweat of a workin' man Well we come from the farms and the city streets and a hundred foreign lands D And we spilled our blood in the battle's heat Bm Now we're all Americans I am the Kilrain of the 20th Maine did I tell you friend I'm a fightin' man And I'll not be back this way again, 'cause we're all goin' down to Dixieland Steve Earle is a genius in all of his works. I love the guy and if anyone needs anymore tabs just leave a comment and i'll see what i can do.
