Biography:
Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

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!
This is a guess by ear. I'm absolutely NOT sure this is right, but I coulnd't find any
tab on the net. Also, most of the lyrics are absolutely wrong, but I couldn't find the
lyrics either and I'm not a native anglophone, so I hope you'll forgive me for
that. The lyrics I put are just to give an idea.
Instead of the G6 you can paly a simple G as well, both sound acceptable.
If you are a beginner, you may want to transpose it in G (+5 or -7, it's the same) to
eliminate the barrés, and maybe put a capo on 7th fret.
Slightly unusual chords:
A6: x02222 (the easiest way to play it is using a semi-barrè)
G6: 320000
