Tuning: Standard Tuning, half-step down ( Eb   Ab   Db   Gb  
Eb), but you can
        easily just play it in standard tuning.  Nathanson plays a 12-string
        in the recording, and it sounds like there are two guitars, but the
        song sounds fine with just one 6-string.  Use a mixture of picking
        and strumming throughout.
I couldn't find any tabs of the song with the text so I put something together myself, 
one so if someone wants to change something in the tabs.. please do.
