I play this song in dropped-D tuning. I think it is easier
to play the fingerstyle parts this way. Also played with
capo on the 1st fret.

Second Verse
Another town another hotel room
Another dream that ended way too soon
Left me lonely praying before the dawn
Searching for the strength to carry on.
