Biography:
Shakey Graves, aka Alejandro Rose-Garcia from Austin, Texas, plays a gnarly composite of blues and folk as a one-man-band of epic sonic proportions. The sound emitted from his hollow body guitar, mildly distorted amp and suitcase drum belie the young singer’s lean frame. He fingerpicks while keeping time with a double-pedal kick drum, hitting a snare fitted into his suitcase drum and a tambourine fashioned to its side. And when he sings, Rose-Garcia unleashes an unearthly howl.

Tabbed from this youtube version starting at 16 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P6KrkolDSs
This is my first tab. I will put a video here when its ready: (link)
Shakey does this song in open D tuning, but I tabbed it in standard tuning.(I will make a video on how to play
this in Open D soon, its actually easier than standard)
For the D lick in the opening, middle, and end, strum the D chord then pluck the d,b and e strings (4,2,1)
together(or all 4), then slide to first fret and pluck, then pluck it open , then go back too D and pluck.
(Alternate way of doing the lick, the D u wanna use here is similar to the Bm(its in the variations D/F#), just
move the pinky too 5th fret 5 string, pluck strings a,b,e (5,1,2) now slide all fingers 1 fret back , pluck
and then slide fingers 1 fret back again and pluck(which will be a C), then back too a barred D and pluck.)
