This song uses what I think is a pretty unusual tuning (E A D G B D) and on the EP
recording there's a capo on the 5th fret. I'm not good enough to tab this
precisely, but I figured out the chords and although I'm not gonna tab it, the
melody on the higher strings is pretty easy to figure out from there. Someone else
can take it from here.
Not sure this is what the chord's called but this is how you play it:
d---0---|
b---0---|
g---2---|
D---0---|
A---0---|
E---2---|

Verse
Been so many days of longing now
Why should it ever be this far
Where I get frightened
I could never gather birds enough to carry 'round your heart
But I see traces of your thoughts out here
I see a sight; I hear a sound
I only comfort in the brittleness of days when
I can hold what I just found
Chorus
It's in the untired eyes of the laughing child
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
Early, sun-warmed pine
And all those life-like sins
That will pull out the memories to show
I'm not leavin' alone
I'm not leavin' alone
Back to the intro, repeat for the next verse and chorus, and that's it.
