I assume you came up with some complicated mathmatical formula, including: age of song, instruments used, lyrical merits, weight of the guitarist and the teeth of the frontman? By my quick calculations your spot on!

You might be right, but it's got a Bminor in it, which is a bitch to play on the mandolin if you've only been playing six months.

If you listen to T. Duggins' cover of it, he does the same I think.

The lyrics blend seamlessley with the music and the song outshines 'Fairytale..' in my eyes - and ears. Beautiful, beautiful stuff. We had it played at our wedding and I was bawling.
"Take my hand and dry your tears babe
Take my and forget your fears babe
There's no pain there's no more sorrow
They've all gone gone in the years babe."
WOW!
Just read this thread.
This line hits me and is amongst the greatest.

Well said John. And I for one know EXACTLY what you mean.

fucking awesome. even the replacement of "babe" with "shane" lends a mythical and mystical aspect to the song. i can almost imagine this "shane" to be another lost character in this now-seemingly-traditional version.
