LITTLE WANDERER - Death Cab for Cutie
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Spirit_Desire
Since there are a lot of different tabbed versions of the song up here, I'd like to share my personal point of
view how I think it's played on the record. I've worked on it for a while, so I'm pretty sure about it.
Feel free to comment or correct, it's my first tab actually.
Enjoy!
Greets,
Spirit_Desire

So that's basically it - there are more overdubs, especially in the 3rd verse, which create a very special
harmonic atmosphere, but in the end I think it's all just playing around with the chords I wrote down.
