Heres a very under-rated song off The Weakerthans Fallow album. Its a simple but
song so I tabbed it out
for anyone who would care to play it.
This is how I play the song. I incorporated the guitar melodies into the picking style.
may not be
exact as the album since I simplified chords to make it easy to play on one guitar. But
the parts are
there and the differences are pretty much un-noticible.
I tabbed out the intro, main melody/picking, the pre instrumental, and instrumental at
end. Otherwise I
just wrote the chords so you can sing along easier.
On the album:
The verses are played like the melody part
The ( Am - G - F - etc. ) progressions are played like the pre-instrumental part
tabbed (same fingerings).
Otherwise its pretty simple to figure out.
I hope someone finds this tab useful. Please comment/rate. Let me know what you think!
