Foals – Birch Tree
***************************************************************************************
IMPORTANT: This is how i play the whole song in a acoustic guitar (whit chords)(standard tuning)
So here's a little explanation.. of why i use just two chords for the entire(?) song
F#m Bm
e|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
D|---7---7---7---6----6---4---4---4---6---6-|---7---7---7h9p7---6----4---4---4---0---0-|
A|-9---9---9---7---7----5---5---5---7---7---|-9---9---9-------7----5---5---5---2---2---|
E|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
(I know, this got other variants. But those two chord just repeat during the whole song, trust me)
