------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STRANGE CONDITION - Pete Yorn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Paul C. Email: pcorning@purdue.edu Tuning: Std. Like many other really good songwriters, Pete likes to take regular old chords and do something weird to them (like leave off or add a finger) and it makes his sound really dynamic & pretty. I'll put the regular note above the tabs with a star to show it's been changed. If there's a "t" that means I fret the note with my thumb. Intro: "Read me the letter, baby..." and then again for "Stories and cigarettes..."
