Title: Crosses
Artist: Jose Gonzalez
Tabbed by: Pierz Newton-John (pierznj@gmail.com)
There are some tabs for this song that are pretty close, but this one is note
for note accurate (or very, very close to), including all the syncopated bass
note variations. Bass notes should be hit stongly. Note the tuning - you can
almost play this in standard tuning, but not quite. One of trickier things with
this song is singing the words in correct time with the guitar, so I've put
in where the words fall - or at least the beginnings of the phrases.

This is pretty much the definitive tab for anybody to use that would like to learn this song. There are a few missing or misplaced bass notes during the verses, but Jose switches this up all the time that it will still sound great.
Anyone wanting to learn this song, look no further, this tab is freaking great. Thanks Pierz.
thanks so much Pierz this is awesome stuff
Don't know if it's perfect in the literal sense of the word, but this must be at least near perfection. This tab saved me a lot of work and probably more than hundred listening sessions :-)
Great tab!!
