No playable tab notation detected in this song.

Hey, so this was a surprisingly difficult song to work out.
I mean, firstly the song is something of an exercise in dissonance,
I am fairly sure there are different chords layered all over themselves,
the most notable being the Abm with the C#m,
and the B with an F#5 rumbling beneath it,
but here I have opted for the chord that makes the most sense,
and which can be played on one guitar and sung along to.
So necessarily this tab has ended up being a combination of things,
a video of Phil performing an acoustic version helped,
but I tried to make this reflect the studio version,
with that being the most familiar.
The timing of the post-wind noise section,
it is a bit off-kilter in the acoustic thing,
so the chords here are mapped to the studio-recorded vocals.
Enjoy.

the cold wind blows when night falls,
and the bare branches bend.

Hey, so this was a surprisingly difficult song to work out.

I mean, firstly the song is something of an exercise in dissonance,

I am fairly sure there are different chords layered all over themselves,

the most notable being the Abm with the C#m,

and the B with an F#5 rumbling beneath it,

but here I have opted for the chord that makes the most sense,

and which can be played on one guitar and sung along to.

So necessarily this tab has ended up being a combination of things,

but I tried to make this reflect the studio version,

with that being the most familiar.

it is a bit off-kilter in the acoustic thing,
