• Song:

    Im A Cuckoo

  • Artist:

    Belle And Sebastian

I find playing it this way easier than playing
lots of sharp and flat chords but it means tuning down one semi-tone:
D# (x43121@3)G# (xx1114@1)C# (x43121@1)F# (244322@1)A# (x1333x@1)D#This (x43121@3)is the tab for the long version of this
song which you can hear here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr6ieHPOllo

The shorter version (the one with the video) doesnt include the 3 
verses/chorus after the first verse so basically jump from the end of the 
first verse to:
Im happy for you, Now I know this hurt is poison.
Anyway you can listen to that version here:
