Sharon Van Etten - Don't Do It

Chords used in the song:

Notes: The chord labeled "F?" above is sometimes played as a traditional F
chord (above, in parentheses), but it is often difficult to tell which is
being played because the song is mostly downstrokes concentrating on the
four lowest strings (E, A, D, and G). The same goes for Dsus2/ F#vs. D/F#
(also above, in parentheses). Play whatever sounds best to you.
The Esus4 is used only a few times throughout the song as a variation on Em
by hammering on the G string. I have separated the chords with commas in
those spots.
Chord changes are placed (roughly) above the word in the lyrics where
they occur. Chord changes placed after the end of a line take place after
the last word of that line but before the first word of the next line.
