Song: I fell into painting houses in phoenix, arizona Artist: Richmond Fontaine Tabbed by: Jpencz (couchy@gmail.com) Standard tuning Capo 5th fret The whole song he plays his chords with variations of the actual chord, taking a finger off and hammering on. It might not be exact but here is how I hear it, and sounds pretty good. He doesn't always do it, so just listen to the song and try to mimic it using variations like these: Em C G e|----0--0-0-0------0-0-0-0-------3--3-3-3----| B|----0--0-0-0------1-1-1-1-------0--0-0-0----| G|----0--0-0-0------0-0-0-0-------0--0-0-0----| D|----2--0-2-0------2-0-2-0-------0--0-0-0----| A|----2--2-2-2------3-3-3-3-------2--0-2-0----| E|----0--0-0-0------0-0-0-0-------3--3-3-3----| intro: Em verse 1:
