This is my very first tab. I didn't see this up anywhere and I figured it out a while
so I figured I would go ahead and put it up :)
I play F#m like 200222, but if you don't like that, you can just
play Dmaj7 = xx0222 in it's place
Intro: just play A for 4 measures
Verse 1:
A E F#m D
I will live my life as a lobsterman's wife
