Perfect Crime 2 Tab by Decemberists


The guitar in this song is very boring (theres about 3 playing the game chord at 
times), so I tabbed out

the rhythm as it was a guitar playing it (instead of keys). I found the easiest way to 
it is to use fingering

like this:

 Em D Em G Em

e-7-5-7-7-7---|
B-8-7-8-8-8---|
G-9-7-9-7-9---|
D-9-7-9---9---|
A-7-5-7---7---|
E-------------|

For the G, rather than playing that fingering exactly like it's written, get your 
back into the barred Em

position and remove your ring finger and pinky. This way, you can quickly move from the 
to the G and back to

the Em. This makes the progression much more accessible. Enjoy!
