Song For A Lover Of Long Ago

Artist: Justin Vernon
Song: A Song For A Lover Of Long Ago
tabbed by: necriononguitar


. = Palm-Muted
~ = hold note
^ = vibrate
p = pull off
h = hammer on
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
* = harmonic


Tuning: Standard (+15 cents - A4 455)

Capo 2 (chords are relative to the capo)


Dont get ocd about the picking. Im just trying to give an idea of what justin is playing 
and what tuning / capo he is using.
The chord patterns should be spot on, you just need to figure out the picking for yourself.
Dont forget the extra 15 cents on your tuning and the capo on 2nd fret, otherwise the 
recording will be out of tune to what you are playing!
