"June Leaf." Tabbed by Colin

Brad's Note:  Some of you know that this is my favorite J44 tune. Well, when I had a moment I struggled with this and wound up baffled: I could barely get anything out of the tab.  Of course, Colin deserves credit for actually taking the time and making the tedious effort this song requires (see below), but if anyone has a less complicated version of this, I'd love to see it.

This tab is for the guitar that is played in the LEFT
speaker.  You should notice that most of June of 44's
songs are recorded such that Jeff Muller's guitar is in one
speaker while Sean Meadows is in the other.  So if your
stereo has the knob that enables you to pan between the
left and right speakers, you can isolate the LEFT speaker
guitar part by turning the pan knob to the left.
 

This song uses a dropped-D tuning:
