This is likely my favorite song of Conor O'Brien's. I couldn't find the chords for this anywhere, so I figured I'd learn it and tab it out. The guitar melodies are really what make this song. I got kinda lazy towards the end of the tab, but I'm sure the chords are pretty accurate. I used the Fargo Store, Paris performance for reference. Listen to the song for timing...
