Tabs for "I Am A Tree" by Kingbastard (aka Weeksy) from his album "The Don't Knows".
NOTES: * This song is played in a 3/4 time signature.
       * There were some complications on knowing where the capo goes. I started tabbing the song
         on 1st fret, which sounded like the original. Then I read in a post by Kingbastard that
         it goes on 2nd and then later even saying it's the 3rd fret. He didn't mention any chords but after
         paying attention to some of the finger picking I knew it would have to be the latter.
       * If the strumming pattern of Cmaj7* confuses you, just continue strumming Cmaj7 as normal as you tap
         your pinky on and off on the 3rd fret of the e-string.
       * None of the chords or tabs I'm using are official.
