The Staves Chords & Tabs

Version: 2 Type: Tab

Winter Trees Tab

I've watched the video quite alot now xP. A few things;
1. she only uses her thumb and first 2 fingers throughout the whole song (4th rests on 
the scratchboard)
except when strumming.
2. I haven't necessarily tabbed exactly what Jessica plays. It's roughly correct and the
base notes are all correct, but I couldn't always work out which other strings she plays,
so don't worry about getting it exactly!
I've also missed out a few fiddly bits and extra notes I couldn't track down. Feel free 
to improve.
3. I'm *pretty sure* this is the tuning Jessica uses - if you have any better ideas add 
them in.
4. This was originally based on the tab that was previously here for the beginning part 
so thanks for that.

(back to the beginning..)
Heavy of heart
Weary of soul
You won't mind
You won't mind
I think of him now
Fathoms below
You won't mind
You won't know

But I never meant to say
Any of those things
Words can sound so cruel
When you speak before you think
