  • this is the best cover =]

  • woots to mercs. doing our unofficial dirty work for over 4000 years! :D

  • @celticmonk Yep you got that right, the low E has to open, it sounds wicked, a version I have has Guy Clark playing lead, Townes Van Zandt playing rhythm, and singing harmony and Steve singing lead and playing Mandolin

  • Especially belt out the last Greenback dollar, and repeat the last "peso down Mexico way"

  • I love it! Great song and you've done a great job!

  • really? that's why i can't find it. (*sigh*)

    it is a pretty good cover, though.

  • very nice ... the orgianl got removed for some reason :(

  • Flip that capo upside down at the 2nd fret, and don't cover the low e-string. That's how to get all the lower notes of the intro/break.

  • VIVA PANCHO VILLA! Mi General te saludo!

  • you know, i thought this was that sond "oh no you didn't" at first, and i was disappointed it wasn't. but after listening for a bout 20 sec. i really liked it. good job. 5 starts.
