Slightly odd tuning, only really the bottom 3 strings need to be in this tuning but the top 3 can be strummed
sympathetically if you like. Pretty sure she only plays the 3 lower strings in the recording:
 
DAC#(F#AD)
 
As with all Grouper songs, the timing is pretty loose and should be played around with to match the feel
of the song. Case in point is the intro which has pretty large gaps which aren't tabulated fully in this

My mother once told me
She walked into the ocean
Didn't want to die
Just couldn't tell where the horizon was
