   The Fools We Are As Men - Ryan Adams 
  --------------------------------------
 
 (from side 4, GOLD limited edition)
 
 tabbed by Björn Ericson (apan.ola@purpleturtle.com)
 
 Well, I was browsing the OLGA, minding my own business, when I noticed, 
 to my great despair, that there was no Ryan directory to be found. 
 How can this be? I thought. Someone ought to be punished for this...
 or something. Anyway...so...this is my first tab-posting on the
 net...(TADA!)...sort of a groundbreaking event...
 
 I obviously love this song (otherwise I wouldn't have bothered transcribing
 it), and though I am sure that it's not 100% accurate, it's how I play it
 and it sounds good to me.
