Here is "The Stakes Are High" by Ezra Furman and the Harpoons.
This is the bare bones version of it. Ezra throws in some stuff that I can't
figure out how to do. But this will get you through the song. The one flair
that I was able to pick up on is, he occasionally uses an alternate fingering
for a Bm. It's essentially just the Am formation in the Bm position, but it
sounds good. So throw that in for effect. Have fun.
Alternate fingering for Bm is used occasionally it is
