Capo: 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fragile Bird - City and Colour ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Song: Fragile Bird Artist: City and Colour Album: Little Hell Tabbed by: Nathan Chancellor Email: natechancellor@gmail.com Tuning: EADGBE - Capo 3 or 5 Notes: 1. On the capo situation, Dallas has played both. It really depends on your range. The studio version has a capo on 5 and he started playing it live that way; however in the recent months, he has played it with a capo on 3 to save his voice. Your choice. 2. When playing the Em chord in the chorus, strum the open strings and hammer on the two fingers shortly after. He tends to do this in a few songs, Comin' Home and Northern Wind come to mind. 3. He does a minor pull off hammer on type thing in the chorus (he strums slightly rapidly while moving his finger) that I will tab in the chords. Watch the videos to get it. He also varies it between performances, I give what I think is the most general one that sounds best. 4. Put heavy palm muting during the verse, taking it off when you are repeating it for the time right before the chorus so the chords ring out Videos: Dallas with capo on 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq20K_GaFR4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtU2Z6bZYlE Dallas with capo on 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS-oAU3EDW0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ75f792Wx0 Chords: "E1" "E2" "E3" "E4" e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|---0------0----0-----0----| D|---4------4----4-----5----| A|---2------3----5-----4----| E|---0------0----0-----0----| "D" Em C/G e|---0-----0------0---00000-------| B|---3-----0------1p0-00000-------| G|---0-----0------0---00000-------| D|---4-----2------2---20202-------| A|---5-----2------3---33333-------| E|---5-----0------3---33333-------| Verse:
