Tuning: Down half a step


As with most finger-style songs, you can use this fingering for your picking/strumming hand:

eb - ring finger
Bb - middle finger
Gb - index finger
Db - thumb
Ab - thumb
Eb - thumb

Your pinky can be used to brace your hand against the body of the guitar.




This is the main pattern used throughout the song:

Bb|--------0--------0--------0--------0--|----|--------0--------0------------|
Gb|-----1--------1--------2--------2-----|(x3)|-----2--------2---------------|
Db|-----------------------------2--------|----|-----------2------------------|
Ab|-----------2--------0-----------------|----|--0---------------------------|
Eb|--0-----------------------------------|----|--------------------0---------|
     E                 Asus2                     Asus2             E
