 Tuning Question

 Jonathan B passed on the information that the Old 97s tune the guitars
 one full step down so DGCFAD. So you may wish to follow suit, personally
 I prefer to play with standard tuning and use a capo if necessary. If you
 tune a step down then you play the song with the fingering of an open G, F, C
 instead of E D A with capo on 1st. To convert the chord to the stepped down
 tuning add 1 and a half tones to each chord so E=G D=F A=C C#m=Em G=Bb... 
 its all a matter of personal preference.

 The C#minors ( or Em if playing on detuned guitar )
 could be cut out if you play it acoustically
 as they are quick punchy changes.

 [E]And the hole 
 In the [D]screen is barely [A]big enough for [E]you 
 And not near enough for me to [D]go [A]
 [E]And the whole damn complicated 
 [D]Situation [A]could've been 
 [E]Avoided if I'd only shut the [D]window 

 CHORUS: 
 [A]And I may be leavin' [C#m]myself [E]open 
 To a [A]murder or a [C#m]heart [D]attack 
 But I'm [A]leavin' the back [C#m]door [E]open 
 'Til you come [G]back, 'til you come [D]back 
 And I [A]may be movin' [C#m]myself [E]closer 
 [A]To a real un[C#m]timely [D]end 
 [A]But I'm leavin' the back [C#m]door [E]open 
 'Til you come [G]home [D]again, 'til you come [A]home [E]again [D]

 [E]And I told 
 The [D]neighbors, I put [A]pictures up 
 And [E]handed out some flyers at the [D]show[A] 
 [E]And the whole town speculating 
 [D]Situation [A]could've been 
 [E]Avoided if I'd only shut the [D]window
