Tuning: standard

Capo: 9

Fingering relative to capo. (ie. "3" is really the twelfth fret, 3 from capo.)

Most of the notes are played at the same speed, but you'll have to listen to get the
of it, because there are a few exceptions. You'll probably want to finger-pick this one, too.

(it's hard to hear what is played at this part, because of the harmony, but this sounds
good)

second chorus is played exactly like the first one, but with different words. listen for
timing and tempo. the awkward chords and finger-picking are intimidating at first, but
really not as hard or as fast as it seems. this song is really hard to play and sing at 
same time, because the sung melody is so arrhythmic, but when done well, it's a
and haunting song. good luck!
