Biography:
Melbourne's Oh Mercy, headed by songwriter Alexander Gow, is a young indie rock band with serious talent.
Says Alex of the first single from the fourth Oh Mercy album - still untitled... “Sandy is a fast song. Faster than the other ones. Or slower. It really just depends on how you count the bars. And which song you compare it to. Faster than a real slow song. Slower than a real fast one. Sandy is a stuck in the middle kind of song. I wrote it in Nashville.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Standard tuning, he plays with capo on 3rd fret. Where it says "hammer on" its
basicly an Em but you hammer on the D string (didnt know what to call that) Also
in the final verse if you watch his youtube video he plays a weird chord that I
also don't know but is easy enough to do but I kept the tab the same the whole way through.
It's not exact but they're the basic chords and structure. Had fun tabbing, great
song and good cover
