Here`s the rendition of the song as played on the ACL show last year, and it
follows Shawn`s guitar style very closely. Luckily,
I taped it and the camera man was nice enough to focus on her left hand
for much of the set. Please excuse my chord names, as I have little knowledge
of musical theory or chord nomenclature.

^ (hammer on)
Notes: 1) The D* chord is questionable.
2) C1 is a hammer on 3rd fret, fifth string, and C2 is a hammer
on 2nd fret, same string.
(Am chord)

(hammer on)
Words:
1:
Am D G/D D G/D Am
I`m riding shotgun down the avalanche Hmmmmmm
Am D G/D D G/D Am
Tumbling and falling down the avalanche Hmmmmmmmm
A G C1-C2 D
But I will raise up my voice into the void
A Em Am
You have left me nowhere to go
2:
I love you so much and it`s so bizzare
A mystery that goes on and on and on
It is the best thing and the very most hard
And we don`t get along
After countless appeals, we keep spinning our wheels
On this mountain of new fallen snow
So I let go the catch and we`re over the edge
You have left me nowhere to go
I`m riding shotgun down the avalanche
(guitar interlude: Am D G/D D G/D Am)
3:
Sometimes you make me loose my will to live
And just become a beacon for your soul
But the past is stronger than my will to forgive
Forgive you or myself, I don`t know
I`m riding shotgun down the avalanche Hmmmmmm
Tumblin` and fallin` down the avalanche Hmmmmmmmm
So be quiet tonight, be sure to step lightly
On this mountain of new fallen snow
But I will raise up my voice into the void
You have left me nowhere to go
I`m riding shotgun down the avalanche Hmmmmmm
(Guitar Ending:) heavy strumming on D/E chord,
then single slow strum on D* chord
