PRESSING FLOWERS - The Civil Wars
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Noah Henderson
E-mail: hendo95@comcast.net (or noahhendo16@gmail.com)
Tuning: Standard - Capo 5
From: Poison & Wine EP
Okie dokie, the whole song is fairly simple. Everything with the guitar repeats so I
absolutely will not do this tab note for note the whole song. I have labeled each part so
hopefully it makes sense. Standard tuning Capo 5, the rhythms are a bit odd but not too
bad. The only difficulty you should have is if you try and sing along with it. Send me an
email if you have questions. I will gladly make a youtube video upon request. Enjoy, everyone!

The "You and I are pressing flowers" part is called the bridge of the song. :I
