thanks everyone! to yellowballerinastar -- the basic chords are Dm - Bb - F - C - Dm - Bb - C . You can play the whole thing with those four chords, the order just changes here and there.

I've only just realised the video is of a record playing. I was looking at it thinking it was some kind of rippling water feature/fountain with weird sculptures in a huge hall with a mural of soldiers spanning the wall. Interesting effect. (And lovely cover, of course).

[NUBF]

Just perfect. I love this song but don't really like her voice, so this is a lovely find. Great job!

At least the REAL Conor wrote his own original songzzz.

I love the original. You've done it great justice. I'll bet you do a good Justin Vernon. Up in the Woods?

[RoyaWeidman]

this is ridiculously lovely

[iamaguynamedrobert]

Wow.

[NaiveAmoeba]

@yellowostrichalex have you tried playing it Am F C G? I find it a lot easier and you can bring a bit of the melody into the top strings, as it's all kept within a few frets on the E and B strings, just a personal preference for me but interesting to see different transpositions :) kudos on the cover btw, absolutely beautiful!

seriously, im obsessed with the newsom, and this is the greatest cover i have ever heard, what software and mic do you use? it sounds amazing

[MiaBuns]

What instruments have you used here? I really love it:)

[staceysvendsen]

this is stunning. i get annoyed with joanna's voice when i now listen to the original.

[MissJuicyCathy]

I thought this was going to be crap. You have a freaking BEAUTIFUL VOICE, subscribed! <3 this works so well
