Tabbed by: Joe C
 
Tuning: Standard capo 9
 
Amazing song by Bear's Den from their hidden EP. The Bass notes can be seen as the four
beats in a bar.

[Intro/Chorus riff]
-Play the first note on the second fret of the G string in each 4 bass-note phrase as a
hammer-on. It is played normally the second time
-Listen to the song to get what I mean as well as the general rhythm
 
   1   2   3   4   1   2   3   4   1   2   3   4   1   2   3   4

[Verse riff]
-For 2nd last open note on the G string, keep your finger on the 2nd fret of the G
string from the last note of the G string, and play the open note as a pull-off for the
G and
Am chords, and also play the first note of the 2nd fret of the G string as a hammer-on
(Same as the intro/chorus but only for the G and Am chords)
-It's quite confusing but listen closely for the ryhthm - Can be difficult to hear over
the singer and banjo)
