Last Song by Clogs ft Matt Berninger
Originally tabbed by Ex1Le, I've just rewritten it as a plain text tab and also changed some of the strings
around so that it's more playable. The best way to learn this I think is to just learn the shapes for each bar
There aren't many shapes but they can be troublesome to change between and the length of time you have to hold
the bar on can really cramp up your hand.
Sorry for the awkward formatting, I had this as 4 bars per line on my computer and it doesn't quite fit on UG'
template so I have to put the fourth bar underneath. Hopefully it still makes sense!
EDIT: astronaut88 suggested playing this with a capo on the 5th fret and I absolutely agree that this makes
the song much easier to play!
