Less Than The Air

• C

This is one of my favorite songs of the "The Transient" album. It's fairly simple, the
song it just finger picking chords. I didn't include a picking pattern, because its
easy to pick up, or you can just make your own. Also, just for a note, the voice that 
Tangelo the second time is Conor Oberst's, lead singer of Bright Eyes.

Standard Tuning (EADGBe)

Chords:
C = X32010
F = XX3211
G = 320001
