Hi Joe i know youve already responded to a question about the tab for this but have you any idea what tab site you used? Ultimate? This is a tremendous copy , one of your finest!!!

[joeburton77]

sorry, still can't find the tab, but I know the tuning now: DGDGBD

I am posting the basic chord positions in the vid description :) hope it helps

Joe did you tune down the top E string like the tab I've found suggests?

[joeburton77]

really sorry, I don't remember the tuning I used and I cant find the tab anywhere.. this is the easist way to play it though .. i think maybe the E and D string are tuned down?

[RossNW]

Incredible, I love this

[joeburton77]

thanks :)

very good brother, sam beam would be proud

[NicholasStacy]

Fantastic cover, my friend, your voice does justice to Iron & Wine's style.

[jahzz13]

Great song & cool player! Thx Man'

[asideofchristianna]

great cover

[facsimistank]

this is the second iron and wine tune i have heard you do Joe, you never fail to impress! keep them coming!

[Duppetiduu]

Alternatively you can tune the A to a G, and just use that. Still only two G's though ;)

[Duppetiduu]

Actually, most tabs and tunings I've found on the web are wrong.

Tune the high E to a D, then the low E to a G.

The G (old E) is only picked two times in the verse (not like the three times in this video).
