Lord I Know We Don't Talk - Kevin Devine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: rmolinand10
This tab is based on Kevin's performance in this 2009 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4DPjeTW-_I
Kevin is an excellent guitarist and some of these alternate chords are tough to pick
out. A few notes
may be off, but this is pretty accurate. The rhythm is not shown, but I did try to match
up the lyrics
with the tab. Enjoy!
