Shins - Red Rabbits Chords & Tabs

This tab is only about 95% complete because I couldn't figure out a couple of the
on two chords quite (find the ??s, win a prize!).  But this should more than get you started
a very simple song.

I figured it out on an acoustic guitar and keyed it to match the CD.  I did it with a
on the first fret to play the whole thing using simpler open chords.  For beginners, this
the chord name used ONLY represents the chord shape.  So when you play a G with capo, 
actually playing Ab/G#, C=C#, etc.

The open chords I used:

G = 320001
C = x32010
F = 113211 (or xx3211 if you don't want to barre it)
Em= 022000
Am= x02210
D = x00232

Any help with the parts I missed or if you'd just like to share how lame I am for
them can be sent to kevtp28@hotmail.com

Cheers

The boys with swollen sunburnt eyes

A reward for letting nothing under their skin
