Give Me Love (acoustic)

first tab batter me in comments if necessary :) 
2 
Capo on 2  
standard tuning  

This is how I think he plays it live. Its a great song, basically a really  
personalized homage to 'skinny love' by bon Iver  
 (Another great song that's worth learning, I recommended the tab that does it in open tuning :).) 

All the chords are a lil funny but i'm pretty sure there what he plays live 

---------4-----0-----2---2-------| 
---------2-----0-----2---2-------| 
---------4-----1-----4---3-------|         intro + for verse repeat do not  
---------4-----2-----4---4-------|         include opening 4 notes. 
-2-------6-----2-----2---2-------| 
---0-2-4-4-----0-----x---2---2-4-| 

          
then: 

----4----------0--------------2--------2--------4-----------0 
----5----------0--------------2--------2--------5-----------0 
----6----------1--------------4--------3--------6-----------1 
----6----------2--------------4--------4--------6-----------2 
----4----------2--------------2--------2--------4-----------2 
----4----------0--------------x--------2--------4-----------0 

                                    alcohol.. 
you know..  tonight ill..  blood turns..    I just want...  you 


Chorus: 
                                  
 I  
---2-------------4------0---|      
---2-------------4------0---|      
---4-------------4------1---|       
---4-------------6------2---|  
---2-------------6------2---| 
---2-------------4------0---|     
                                   
give a little time to me, well burn this out    
We'll play hide and seek, to turn this around... 


  ---4-----2-----0---| 
  ---4-----2-----0---| 
  ---4-----3-----1---| 
  ---6-----4-----2---| 
  ---6-----4-----2---| 
  ---4-----2-----0---| 
                                   
  my my  my my  my give me love... 


easiest way to get the hang of the rhythm is to watch his live lounge video.  
Anyway hope this tabs useful :) 


also on this chord -2- Ed uses his middle finger to mute the top string,  
                   -2-  the technique looks kinda weird, but muting the top 
                   -4-  string is necessary to get the best sound. You 
                   -4-  could probably use your thumb if u find that easier.  
                   -2- 
                   -x-
