This song is beautiful! I was pretty much disappointed with all the tabs online-its
not EMajor! So I decided to do it myself. woohoo!
Questions go to florflow@gmail.com
So the song is in Eb major. tune strings 1, 5, and 6 to Eb.
Tune strings 3 and 4 to Gb.
Tune string 2 to Bb.
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE:
Eb|
Bb|
Gb|
Gb|
Eb|
Eb|
The only strings that will ever move frets are strings 3 and 4. Strum the other strings
throughout the song!! If i use a ZERO (0), It means to strum open also. A slash (/)
a subtle slide!

Praises get spent
Your trick face is bent
Pigsties and prizes
'Cause there's no kind of 'well'
You're suiting yourself
You leave yourself behind
And thats it! :] Such a gorgeous song!
