Susanne Sundfør - Knight of Noir
Album: The Brothel (2010)
notes:
1) it works best with a half step up or a respectively tuned down guitar.
the Eb chord is vastly better when played with more bass
2) the intro is actually alternating between Gm and Gm/C but without a deeper C it sounds awful

Underneath her coat
