Down In The Valley - The Head and The Heart

Tabbed by: Stefano Prezioso

This is my first tab. Watching the live version of the song on Youtube helped me figure
some of it out. In the beginning, the thumb plays triplets as a rhythm bass while the
other fingers strum eighth notes and triplets. Kind of tricky, but it's not too bad with
some practice.
The hand holds a C position while moving the fingers to play the melody. The pinky plays
the 3rd fret on the high E and B strings. The middle finger shifts down from the D
string to the G string to play the second fret, then returns to the D string for the
ending of the intro.
Tuning: Standard
I'm self titling the chords since I have no idea if they are actually named or not. This
is to help give an idea of which fingers go where.

As I figure out more of the song, I may post a full tab, but as of now, I don't know the
full thing. Just thought I'd put up a correct version of the intro!
