Okay, so there are one or two tabs but they're wrong...
and then videos of people playing it on you tube had wrong bits too... Sorry.
This is my first time tabbing so don't be too abusive!
Don't think this is exactly how DG plays it but it sounds spot on.
Few doubts about the solo, but please don't hesitate to contact me even if to tell me to
do one.
- If you want to play both parts (greedy) then just drop the standard guitar into Drop D
and play notes on the bottom string two frets up.
But I'm sure you knew that already :) -
Tuning: Standard
Intro: . .
e|-------5---------------------------5---------------------------------------|
B|-------6---1-----------------------6---1-----------------------------------|
G|--5----5---2------------------5----5---2-----------------------------------|
D|--5h7------3------------------5h7------3-------------------2---------------|
A|--5--------3------------------5--------3-------------------3p2-------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------3-------------|
Come close... Lay next to me... *Let the G play itself*
*A tempo* Listen to song for strumming pattern, it's very simple.
Verse: . . .
e|------5-------------5-------------5--------(3)-----------------------------|
B|------6--1----------6--1----------6--1-----(3)-----------------------------|
G|--5---5--2------5---5--2------5---5--2------0------------------------------|
D|--5h7----3------5h7----3------5h7----3------0------------------------------|
A|--5------3------5------3------5------3------2------------------------------|

*Repeat four times*
Chorus: .
e|--1-----------------------1------------------------------------------------|
B|--3--1--------1--3--6-----3--1--------1--3--6----6-------------------------|
G|--2--2-(2)----2--4--7-----2--2-(2)----2--4--7----7-------------------------|

A|-----3--3-----3--5--5--------3--3-----3--5--5----5-------------------------|
E|--------1-----------------------1------------------------------------------|
Then back to the verse, repeat 4 times (twice before vocals enter) except shimmying on a
Bigsby at each Fmaj chord and with a staccato'd Fmaj in the fourth repeat.
Repeat chorus twice.
*Daniel Romano plays the solo in Drop D I believe, underneath this DG continues playing
the verse in standard*

Wonderful song. All credit to City And Colour and the genius of Dallas Green.
