 Stranger stranger to these parts

 Gentlemen don't get caught cages under cage

                         (G) ------------2-
 Boxcars (are pulling) out of town
 
 {do opening riff}
 Cages under cages under cages under cage
 
 Secret stigma weeping willow
 Stranger stranger to these parts
 Chronic town poster torn weeping willow
 Diminish stranger
 

Ok, how about if you forget that I ever suggested barring the chords during
the "Boxcars..." chorus.  I tend to notice that guitarists don't play
something a certain way if it can be played easier in a different way.  The
"change riff" during that chorus is just too damn tricky to do from the barre.
So play the chords open and do the "change riff" on the B string and the G.

(B)--3-2-0----
(G)--------2--      <--- new improved change riff in Boxcars
