			     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

Note: repeat pattern throughout song.  Sam throws in small variations throughout to mix 
the monotony of the song.


C               G          F5
please remember me, happily
       C        G
by the rosebush laughing
     C              G                F5
with bruises on my chin, the time when
             C              G
we counted every black car passing
      Am                  G              F5
your house beneath the hill, and up until
         C                 G
someone caught us in the kitchen
      Am                G               F5
with maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank
         C              G
a vision too removed to mention
