------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonah ??" Graham Stookey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Noah Opolsky Tuning: DGDGAD Capo on 3 ??" all notes relative to capo Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVQVoQwYrtw So this song is pretty complex, so I’m going to write the song in as comprehensive a way as I can. I recommend becoming familiar with the chords before playing along, as there are a lot of them and a lot of small embellishments and changes. He plays with an interesting slap/strum technique, and it’s quite challenging. I highly recommend playing along to the video the first few times.
