Conrad - Ben Howard
Tabbed by:

Tuning:
For starters: This is an altered version of an open D tuning:
DACAGd
You need a capo which will be set on the 9th fret. NOTE: The capo only goes across 5 strings. The low E
string(D string in this case) will have no capo on it. This means that the tuning for the strings with the capo
applied will be:
DF#AF#EB
This is pretty much exactly how Ben plays it. If you want a similar sound you want some reverb and delay and
also just a tiny bit of drive during the chorus.
NOTE: fret 2 for the low E string will be on the actual second fret whilst for the other strings fret 2
will be on the 11th fret since, once again, the capo does not cover the low E string. (low D string)
Let's get going then.

The song now basically restarts and is the same besides that there is no first part to the bridge the second
time that the chorus comes around. The outro is basically the chorus with one extra detail:
