Down- Mat Kearney Tabbed by: Iltrivosk Tuning: Standard EADGBe (Capo 5th) This is the chord sheet for the rhythm guitar. I realize there's a massively intricate tab necessary for the lead guitar, but for right now, this is all I've got. They're pretty basic chords, so just strum them all fully and listen to the song for the pattern. Comment for any questions or corrections! Chords (relative to capo): Am-002210 C-032010 Cadd9-032033 Dsus2-x00233 Em7-022033 F-133211 F/Dsus-200033 G-320033 G6-320010 Intro: Am F C G6 Verse 1:
