Sufjan Stevens - To Be Alone With You
Tabbed by Lindsay Kennedy
Email: testingthestrong@hotmail.com
Awesome song, I spent a lot of time trying to get this perfect... I hope it is!
Big thanks to the already existing tabs for a headstart, but I felt they could
be improved on a little.
For a complete tab with correct timing and more exact Guitar 2 work check out
my soon-to-be-accepted
tab on mysongbook.com You need a program called Guitar Pro (its worth getting!).
I'm not sure which song to work on next, so I'd love some feedback!
Key:
p = pull-off
h = hammer-on
I probably don't have the chord names right, but I have a little picture of
each one anyway.
