Tabbed by Mike Mason (please send corrections to mikemasonacoustic@gmail.com)
This is what I gathered from watching live videos on YouTube and sitting here with my
guitar for an hour or so.
The whole song uses notes around F#minor (or just an F#, it doesn't really matter).
F#minor is played like this:
e|-11-|
B|-11-|
G|-11-|
D|-14-|
A|-14-|
e|-11-|
