Biography:
Rachael Yamagata (born on September 23, 1977 in Arlington, Virginia) is a singer-songwriter. She plays piano and acoustic guitar, and her dark, smokey alto garners frequent comparisons to Fiona Apple. Her first full-length album, Happenstance, was released on June 8, 2004.
Yamagata became the vocalist for the Chicago funk-fusion band Bumpus, spending six years with them while writing and recording three albums and touring the country. However, she began to write songs which took on a style that conflicted with the funk vision of the band.

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!
Ok, so here is my first attempt at chording. It started with a version by Timberwo7ves
under this artist. I believed there were some errors in chord placement, as well as the
that was listed, I believe is better served with a C#m. As well, under "Rachel Yamagata"
there is a true tablature, that I reprinted (Thanks to Midori for the tab), but
tab had the same error, using C# instead of C#m. However, if you look at the tab below,
I did correct the "C#" to a "C#m", I didn't change the tab itself, because it was
correctly finger picking a tab that was a C#m shape. Regarding the Timberwo7ves
I then chorded out the second and third verses as well to make it complete. Hope it
The chord placements are probably the best for the picking arrangement that I heard on
recording between Rachael and Ray Lamontagne.
A E F#m C#m
-Oh lover, hold on
