PEDRO THE LION:  FEWER BROKEN PIECES
A fantastic song by david bazan about his breakup with the band pedro the lion.  It's
personal, but evne though its SO incredibly specific to himself, it still somehow manages
apply to everyone who hears it somehow.  It's amazing.  I haven't found a single tab 
for this song after searching for about half an hour I decided to just figure out the
myself. A beautiful song to play at a show.
NOTE:  I don't know many chord names, so when I say "Fm" it means the F barre chord on
1st fret
STANDARD TUNING---CAPO ON 3RD
VERSE 1:
CIf you make a rFeference to some Amtrouble, that you Emknow
