Biography:
Amelia Curran is a Canadian singer, playwright,
and songwriter. She was born in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador and currently lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The National Post describes her music as “a bit like Leonard Cohen being channeled in a dusty saloon by Patsy Cline.”
Curran started playing guitar and writing songs as a teenager and eventually dropped out of university in order to busk on the streets of St. John’s. That led to her first album release in 2000, and since then she has released four more.

A really nice song to play. Listen to the recording to hammer down the rhythm she plays.
I throw in a hammer on for the D chord, 1st string, and try to thumb pluck the
bass strings in time which sounds more akin to her version. My first tab, hope you have fun.
