Sufjan Stevens - To Be Alone With You
Tabbed by Lindsay Kennedy
Email: testingthestrong@hotmail.com

Awesome song, I spent a lot of time trying to get this perfect... I hope it is!
Big thanks to the already existing tabs for a headstart, but I felt they could 
be improved on a little.

For a complete tab with correct timing and more exact Guitar 2 work check out 
my soon-to-be-accepted
tab on mysongbook.com You need a program called Guitar Pro (its worth getting!).

I'm not sure which song to work on next, so I'd love some feedback!

Key:
p = pull-off
h = hammer-on

I probably don't have the chord names right, but I have a little picture of 
each one anyway.
