WHAT HE WROTE - Laura Marling

Tuning: EADGBe
So, this is my version- I don't know if it is exactly how she plays it, but it
sounds close enough for me. All picking, don't strum. Picking pattern below. Enjoy!
Notes:
- Some (or even all) of the A minor chords can be replaced with normal Am
fingering (x02210) - up to you.
- The G in brackets (G) is a very quick passing note.
- For the Am, G and maybe F chords, it may be easier to use your thumb on the bottom string.
- She plays various fills involving the top two open strings, and occasionally the
open G string as well. Listen and improvise.
- (Repeat) means just repeat the chords from the verse above :P
