A lovely album and a beautiful

Main
Just vary the notes on the high E

Chorus
Time signature switches in the 
middle from 4/4 to 3/4, but it's 
pretty intuitive.

The strumming patterns are a little 
odd and the time signature change 
might throw you
off, count like this:

1-2-3-4,1-2-3-4,1-2-3-4,1-2

You can other just do normal 
strumming or you can try to copy the
 mandolin's more
organic pattern. Listen to the 
actual track to get it.

That's about it for the acoustic 
guitar. Maybe if I get the energy 
I'll transcribe the
mandolin. For now, good luck and 
have fun.
