Tuning:
Artist: The Staves
Song: Winter trees
(I've watched the video quite alot now xP. A few things;
1. she only uses her thumb and first 2 fingers throughout the whole song (4th rests on
the scratchboard)
except when strumming.
2. I haven't necessarily tabbed exactly what Jessica plays. It's roughly correct and the
base notes are all correct, but I couldn't always work out which other strings she plays,
so don't worry about getting it exactly!
I've also missed out a few fiddly bits and extra notes I couldn't track down. Feel free
to improve.
3. I'm *pretty sure* this is the tuning Jessica uses - if you have any better ideas add
them in.
4. This was originally based on the tab that was previously here for the beginning part
so thanks for that.)
(Tuning DADDae - drop E -> D, G down to D also, and b -> a)

[Verse 1]
White winter trees
Covered in snow
I don't mind
I don't mind
I think of you now
Here in the cold
You won't mind
You won't know

[Verse 2]
Heavy of heart
Weary of soul
You won't mind
You won't mind
I think of him now
Fathoms below
You won't mind
You won't know
[Chorus]
But I never meant to say
Any of those things
Words can sound so cruel
When you speak before you think
Oh I was wrong

I promised you that I'd never let you down
Oh but I couldn't love you any less than now
