Not For Long

Worked this out by watching the KRCW performance, as usual some really beautiful 
and unique chord voicings by Daniel Rossen.
Tuning is E A C# F# B e (from standard, drop the 3rd and 4th strings by half a step).
Daniel likes this tuning, he also uses it in the Grizzly Bear song Fine For Now.

Intro (repeat 5 times. The 4th chord is quite a stretch!)

Repeat the chords from the intro 3 times, but more aggressively

The second verse follows the exact same pattern as the first one

Then, play the intro chords over until the end.

That's about it! Fun song to play. Enjoy, feel me to correct me if you think I've gone wrong.
