Standard tuning
Capo 5th fret

The whole song he plays his chords with variations of the actual chord, taking a finger off and 

hammering on. It might not be exact but here is how I hear it, and sounds pretty good. He doesn't 

always do it, so just listen to the song and try to mimic it using variations like these:

      Em            C             G
e|----0--0-0-0------0-0-0-0-------3--3-3-3----|

had a wife and kid in Loreto Mexico

G                           Dm       Am 
The suburbs in the that town are a sprawl

Em         G        Am         Em
we never knew where we were at all

Em                   G              Am             C
we worked five days straight then we didnt pick him up

Em                   G          Am       C
and i knew that the kid had never been paid

Dm            Am           G               Em
probably just waited at the meetin spot all day

G                      Dm       Am
we drove to a different part of town
