Biography:
Sylvan Esso is a Durham, NC, USA duo of vocalist Amelia Meath and electronic musician Nick Sanborn. Their début was the double A-side 12" Hey Mami / Play It Right (16 Jul 2013), featuring a capella and instrumental versions of each song.
Meath’s powerful voice is front and center, unjoined by fellow harmonizers as it is in her folk group, Mountain Man. Sanborn, who plays bass in the genre-destroying Megafaun, creates intricate, pulsing grooves for Meath’s voice to inhabit.

Little birdie making car alarm sounds

In the tree next to your house

Hi all,
For the sake of making this song no hassle to play, I’ve tabbed it out in
standard tuning (as seen above). If you really wanted to add a little more
flair, you could tune down to Eb standard which would allow you to play the
Eb chord at two different octaves shown here:
[Verse]
Gb Ab Ebm Ebm
eb|---3-----5-----7-----0---|
Bb|---3-----5-----8-----0---|
Gb|---4-----6-----9-----0---|
Db|---5-----7-----9-----2---|
Ab|---5-----7-----7-----2---|
Eb|---3-----5-----------0---|
This would also open up the chorus to be played with simple open chords
as seen here:
[Chorus]
Db Ab B Gb
eb|---2-----0-----0-----3---|
Bb|---3-----2-----1-----0---|
Gb|---2-----2-----0-----0---|
Db|---0-----2-----2-----0---|
Ab|---------0-----3-----2---|
Eb|---------------------3---|
It’s up to you how to play it.
Enjoy! Questions, comments, concerns, please let me know!
