Artist: The Devil Makes Three
Song: Tow
Transcribed by: J-Heck

Note: This is mostly from their live version on "A Little Bit Faster and A Little Bit 
Worse" but there's a tiny bit of my own arrangement going on.
Guitarists may want to use a capo at the third fret (and adjust chords accordingly), 
otherwise - It should be played on a Tenor Banjo or Tenor Guitar. ;)
The intro is half a verse (to the first D7).
