This arrangement is fairly sparse. It consists of the guitar part of
Thompson's song "Hand of Kindness" from the album of the same name
(Hannibal/Rykodisc) plus an alternating bass line. I have tried to
be faithful to the original, but there are a couple of places where
the arrangement departs in (I hope) minor ways.
I have tried to keep the rhythm consistent: one beat in a 4/4 measure
takes up 8 characters in the tab. In other words, a single character
width represents a thirty-second note. The words under the tab are
kind of mushed together to attempt to show the timing of the lyrics.
On the record, Thompson plays an extended solo between the second chorus
and verse 3. He ends the song by repeating the chorus on verse 3, and
soloing over the groove while the song fades out. When I play, I don't
play a solo -- I go straight from verse 2 to verse 3 -- and I end the song
the arpeggiated D7sus2 chord.

Verses:
1. Well, I wove the rope
And I picked the spot
Well, I stuck out my neck
And I tightened the knot
Oh, stranger, stranger
How near our time (*in the liner notes it is "It don't do to
waste time")
You stretch out your hand
I stretch out mine
Chorus: Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just a hand
Stranger will you reach me in time
In time
2. Well I scuppered the ship
And I bent the rail
And I cut the brake
And I ripped the sail
And they called me a Jonah
It's a sin I survived
You stretch out your hand
I stretch out mine
3. Shoot that old horse
Break in the new
The hung are many
The living are few
I see your intention
Here's my neck on the line
You stretch out your hand
I stretch out mine
