Passion Pit - Lifted Up (1985) tabbed out by: Christina J. ([email protected]) This is the acoustic version played on Mar 25, 2015. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTXvXQzTufw The album version is more or less the same, and I've notated any differences so you can play either. Standard tuning (EADGBe). The first part sounds like transposed Fmaj7 chords to imitate the verse save for the D* chord. They should be picked (or strummed if you're lazy like me). Album version: Transposed up 3 half steps / Capo on 3.
