------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac Demarco - The Stars Keep On Calling My Name ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cap on the 4th fret for live recordings, 3rd if you want to try and play along to the actual recording. I find the recording is pitch shifted slightly, however, which makes playing to a live recording a better option. All tabs are relative to the capo position. Rhythm - aka Mac's Part: G-something?: 21030X You can play this chord 21430X, but it doesn't seem necessary. The added pinkie really complicates the chord, it doesn't even look like Mac does it.

Any bends in here you'll have to figure out on your own, and not everything is perfect, so don't take this as gospel. Keep in mind that some live versions are different from others, so if this doesn't sound identical don't be afraid to play around!
