Hey all! This is my first tab! I absolutely love Blind Pilot, and I couldn't bear to see tabs that don't do the
song its justice. So here it is! Please tell me if I have something wrong! Thank you
Note #1: At the part in the verses where Israel plays the the "C E7 Am" Im pretty sure he plays the C with a 
X32013 and he plays the E7 with a 020103.
Note #2: In the chorus, I'm pretty sure Israel plays the C with a X32013 and he plays the Am with a X02213. I'm
not positive, so listen for yourself and decide!
Capo: 7
