Song: Song of Good Hope Artist: Glen Hansard Album: Rhythm and Repose Tabbed by: Jon Ransom Most of the leg work has been done by other people on this but I'll put up my tab based on Glen playing this song live and videos I've seen online of him playing it. This is 99% accurate. There is just one small part I haven't totally figured out and it's the third/fourth chord Glen uses in the beginning intro and bridge. Well, fair play, cheers all, and Gra mor! Commence to singing with your whole hearts!
