			     TRAPEZE SWINGER - Iron & Wine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: carolinablu5

This is a tab from Iron & Wine at the Green Man Festival 08.17.2008 available for 
at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnGXduu293c.

This is a wonderfully composed song with very vibrant song progression and vocals.  This 
the best version I have found and have studied it vigorously for a cameo performance of 
own within the set of a local band.
It is fundamentally different from the album version but is definitely more challenging 
rewarding to play

h = hammer on

the monotony of the song.
