Parting Gift by Fiona Apple
Album : Extraordinary Machine, 2005

Submitted by: Facundo M. Quiroga (facundoq86@hotmail.com)

The song is played with a piano, so don't expect much, and try to play with
the chords to make it sound right..

The A-E5-D5 in the 1st part could be something like this:
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|----6-------------|
A|---7---77-5-------|
E|-5---6------------|

or

e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|----6-------------|
A|---7---77-5-------|
E|-5---5------------|

which sounds better than playing just plain chords.

Intro: Play the above twice -.-
