The Avett Brothers - Murder in the city

Murder in the City Avett Brothers Tuning : Standard Capo on 3rd fret Key: Eb (C relative to capo) Note: this song is played with two guitars on the album. For the intro I tried to combine the two parts into one so it could be played solo. For the verse, you could fingerpick as show here, or just strum, whichever sounds better to you (in the album one guitar picks, the other strums).
