Capo: 3 Tuning: E A D G B E

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE FUNERAL - Band of Horses ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: jvwald This tab is based on this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KL4bBiDCI0 I’ll start by saying that I don’t know why Ben plays it this way. It's clear when you watch him play it live like in the video above that he's not in standard tuning. And if someone uses such a non-standard tuning, you would assume that it's because it makes the song sound so much different or better than standard tuning. I think this song sounds just as good in standard tuning like it is shown in other tabs on this site. One guess is that Ben is a self described "terrible guitar player" and maybe this tuning makes it easier to play and easier for him to locate where he is on the fretboard. I realize the last thing this site needs is another version of this song. I guess I just thought it would be interesting to figure out and post this tab the way he plays it, even though I would probably never go through the trouble to retune this to play it "correctly." If anyone has any suggestions for changes to this tab or if you have thoughts about why this odd tuning, I’d be happy to hear them. If you do have suggestions, please refer to videos of the band playing live. Capo: III Tuning: FFD#G#A#E (he doesn't appear to play either the high or low E string but you can tune the low E up to F if you want for a fuller sound on the FII chord) F xx(14)(13)(14)x C xx989x G xx434x Am xx646x GII x2434x CII x7989x FII x0212x intro e|-------------------------------------------------| B|--------14---------9--------4-------6-------6----| G|-----13----13\---8---8\---3---3---4---4---4---4--| D|--14-----------9--------4-------6-------6--------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------| intro x6 I'm coming up only to hold you under And coming up only to show you're wrong And to know you is hard; we wonder...
