I don't think this is exactly how she plays it but its probably really close, or
at least this is my best shot at it.
Tips: play with mostly your thumb and your index finger. They should be
alternating pretty evenly though out the whole song.
Tuning: eBF#DAD Capo on the 3rd fret

To erase them
And chase them into oblivion
Lyrics:
Oh I can see your tracks
But I wont follow them
Ill just hope for rain
Or some kind of crazy wind
To erase them
And chase them into oblivion
Oh I can smell the smoke
From your fire, babe
But Ill leave you alone
And sleep in this lonely cave
And pray for
A storm to scrub this dirt away
Oh I can hear the snakes
Creeping cross the scene
I'm quaking in my boots
But you won't hear me scream
You're half way
Down to New Orleans
You're half way
Down to New Orleans
