This is the Horrible Crowes song ‘Cherry Blossom’ from the record “Elsie”. The chords
are essentially correct, though with alternate voicings for simplicity. The tab should not
be followed 100% as it outlines a basic structure to the intro, take from the tablature
and play it your own way around the chords. You can play this song in Standard Tuning, or
a whole step down.
So following that rhythm the rest of the song goes like this, for the verses use the
rhythms above, just use the chord names as markers. The chords in the chorus are played
un-arpeggiated, and as barre chords, whereas the chords in the bridge are too
un-arpeggiated, although they are in the open form. BEFORE I get anyone criticising my
tab for having a C# chord rather than C#m, it's just used to symbolise the octave chord.
