Are You Sitting Comfortably Tab

   
This is my favorite Moody Blues song. Just the right amount of layers and effects from 
time that just capture the stellar song writing of the band. I really don't feel like 
this whole thing out, so I'm just gonna give the chords. It's pretty simple though...
Just finger pick the chords and you'll sound really close to the actual playing. There
are two parts for this song, so just listen to it and you should have it in no time. I
learned this by ear, so any corrections would be appreciated. Thanks, Enjoy!

Alot of the Moody Blues songs are tuned to 435 Hz. If you have an auto tuner, just 
the cent to 435 Hz instead of the standard 440 Hz.

*Tuning: 435 Hz (slightl lower than standard 440 Hz.)
