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.
