Song: Third of May
Artist: Robin Pecknold / Fleet Foxes
Performance: " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTQYRLK2uX8 "
TUNING: D Standard (DGCFAd) BUT ALL CHORDS ARE WRITTEN AS IF IN E (e.g. you're *technically* playing a D
chord but using an E shape)
Capo: None
Note on Chords:
Robin uses a lot of different fingerings and he really pays attention to the dynamics of the song.
Some of these chords might seem bizarre at first but try playing them and watch the video, they're actually
very easy changes (except for the breakdown!)
Also, the timing of the changes is primarily directed by his own singing. Some syllables are elongated like
crazy, some are not, so putting these chords on top of words is inherently imperfect.
(also at a certain point I stopped tabbing easy chords like G)

this sequence is difficult to pull off at first. If you can mute the A string for Em7, and unmute for Em,
that's great!
