I don't have ftp access, and this is the only file I have built That might qualify as acoustic tab. Please archive it.

I made a stab at learning this from the Dan Fogelberg Live CD. I don't know if I got the words right, especially in the chorus, But the guitar sounds okay to me. I was too lazy to tab out the entire Solo in the middle. You should be able to figure it out with the Start I have provided. If you have any corrections, improvements or other Comments, please send them....
