CAPO on 1st fret / Standard Tuning
Great song from Thee Oh Sees early work. I've been wanting to learn this one for years and found an old
youtube video with some chords in the comments section. Thought I'd transcribe them here with a bit of my own
input/lyrics.
Song can be played with or without the capo, I find it just slightly easier to play with the capo.
Most of the song follows a strum pattern where you hit the bass note on the A string with your thumb
before sharply hitting the rest of the chord.
