Notes:
On the original song, Jacob plays with his 5-strings open-tuned guitar.
Losts of chords completions are made by Chris Thile (9th or 11h),
and gathered here as a full chord arrangement.
I provide here an arrangement in classic tuning AEDGBE for a single guitar, matching the
original harmony.
# Intro/A (Jacob Alone)
D5 - xx023x
D5/A - x0023x
D5/B - x2023x
D5/C# - x4023x
# Intro/B (Chris enters) and Verse #1 First part
Chris extra repeated "EF#A" notes.
To add this colour, add the 1st note (top E) and alternate from 0(E) to 2(F#) as noted
below:
D9 - xx023(0|2)
D9/A - x0023(0|2)
D9/B - x2023(0|2)
# First time play this, and loop
D9/C# - x4023(0|2)
# Second time continue like this
D9/F# - 20023(0|2)
Em11/G - 30023(0|2)
D9/B - x2023(0|2)
D9/C# - x4023(0|2)
# Intro/B as done before (at the enter of Chris)
# Verse 2 as done for verse1
Then the following new chord is added
Em11 - 02020(0|2) - Note that I change the B chord to position 0 for B to be louder
than D
# Chorus
For the Chorus
Bm11 - x20220 - Like low B-minor stacked with high A-major
D/B - x20232 - Like low B-minor stacked with high D-major
D/A - x2423x - Rare time when Jacobs plays the third F# in chord
Em7 - 022033 - Go up in high note
# Intro 2 : add 7M to D to underline chris solo
D7M - xx02(2~3)x - quickly move betweeen 2 and 3
D7M/A - x0022x
D7M/B - x2022x
D7M/G - 30022x
Then go back to Intro/B during Chris solo ending
# Verse 2
There is a NC chord (not played), then it returns temporary to full chords
Bm x2443x - to replace D9/B as a full chord
A/C# x4222x - to replace D9/C# as a full chord
D xx0232 - simply
A4 x02230
Dadd9 xx0230
# Intro 3

#Verse 3
Daug - xx2332
D6 - xx0202
Gadd9/B - x2020x
