The Tallest Man on Earth Death Letter TUNING: CGCGCF Strumming not notated, honestly it gets pretty crazy at times Taken from the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikq4Hw7De7c I'm sorry for the roughness of this, in some parts the words and chords don't perfectly match up, you'll have to watch the video for exact timeing. It's a start though and sounds pretty good.
