Subject: k/kottke_leo/peg_leg.tab

This is the first Kottke song I ever heard, and I decided then and there
that I had to learn how to play Leo's music. I didn't write this tab, and I
can't figure out who did, but I have made various additions and corrections
over the years. I'll credit it to Bruce Head of www.guitarmusic.org because
I'm pretty sure I got it from his site.
