------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sufjan Stevens - Drawn To The Blood ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Standard, but capo on 6 (tabbed relative to capo) Sufjan does this upwards strumming all the time. I guess you can do whatever you like. Tab is based on a live performance, which may differ from studio version. There are some open strings I didn't tab. The open strings are almost all in tune, so just add them.
