Title: Give Me Some Truth
Album: Live at the Portland Nader Rally, 08-04-01

I didn't write out the number of strums, just the chords
For the chorus and bridge, it seems ed will play 6th string root notes for
the Bb, C, Eb, and Db chords most of the time but not all of the time (at
least it looks like that on the video), so I put those notes in parentheses.
And if you find this confusing, above the lyrics are the chords in tab and the
corresponding chord name.

I recommend playing the Dm like this to make it easier to switch to the Dm/C:
Dm
fret: I II III IV
E |-1-|---|---|---|
B |---|---|-4-|---|
G |---|-2-|---|---|
D |-0-|---|---|---|
A |---|---|---|---|
E |---|---|---|---|
(numbers represent
finger used to play
the corresponding fret)
Dm/C
fret: I II III IV
E |-1-|---|---|---|
B |---|---|-4-|---|
G |---|-2-|---|---|
D |-x-|---|---|---|
A |---|---|-3-|---|
E |---|---|---|---|
