I got the tuning and some of the chords for this song out of some
tabulature book, the rest I figured out myself. I am pretty sure the
chords are right, but the rhythm may be a little off, mainly because I
couldn't heart the guitar over the mandolin half the time. Anyways, here
it is...

That's the Way
