Noticed that I could not find a single tab/chord progression of this insanely beautiful song anywhere online, and I thought to my self, "this...this I can not tolerate... ONWARDS!" This is what I got so far, basically just a chord progression to help you out, and then you can use the video on the link below to get the finer picking part. I WILL write out the tabs for the intro and the intersections and add them to the file as soon as I can ;)The lyrics are also done by ear, so if you think something is wrong (with either lyrics or chords), send me and e-mail on gschibby@gmail.com, and I'll get it fixed! ;) Video used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8akmRpjXtjs Artist: Passenger Song: Riding to New York Album: Whispers Tuning: Standard Capo on the 5th fret Intro: F Am7 G6 F Am7 C G6 F Am7 G F Am7 C G F Well, I met him in Minnesota.
