Tuning: E A D G B E

Before I Sleep - Marika Hackman from the album - We Slept at Last (2015) Tabbed by: carmenasolt@gmail.com Tuning: DADFGe I tabbed this from the way she plays it in the youtube video ( https://youtu.be/J8l8CZSByC4 ) The tuning is weird, but it allows for droning on the D and B strings and makes for easier playing.
