Elephant in the Dock Ten Stories meWithoutYou Tabbed by Matt Giesmann ================================================================================ Notes: -Tough vocal phrasing -For playing acoustically, I fingerpick between the recording and a full strum -For precise picking, which doesn't exactly follow these chords, see the 'tab' for this song -In the chorus, slide is optional. I slide 3 half steps up to Dm instead of the octave slide Verses Choruses F#m A E...
