The Horrible Crowes song Cherry Blossom, the 6th track of the record: 'Elsie'. It’s in
standard tuning, and no capo. The song appears difficult to learn and play, however once
the chord shapes, which are very simple are learnt, the rest falls into place. The
chords in the Chorus are played as the barre chord variants, whereas the chords in the bridge
are played in the open variants.

AAnd there was blood on my teeth
F#mFrom the long winter here

And all memory has left my bones

If I drove straight off this bridge

I'm sure she'd be laughing, come during spring
B7sus4 Bmsus4 Bmsus4/A
With some fella who just said the right thing
Chorus Variant 2:

AEs the chill in this season sputtered and spit and died with...

ABlood on my teeth
F#mFrom just what they did here
ASnow tumbling down on the ground
F#mAnd me stumbling out of my heart
A (Diminuendo)
Finding cherry blossoms on the hood of my car
