Pictures - Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Tabbed by James Oliver
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 6th Fret
I have tried to position the chords amongst the lyrics to reflect the subtly changing
syllables and melody of the lyrics throughout the song. Undoubtedly, the easiest way to
grasp this is to listen and then just play; the rhythm is natural and all you need to
know is the chords really!
From what I can tell from watching a couple of live performances of this the notes
picked out in the chords are (relative to capo): -
C B Em Dm Riff (based on..)

D-------------- x 2 ------------ x 2 ------------ x 2 --0--0--0-----|
