Tuning: Daniel Johnston signature tuning; or some crazy, off-version of Standard. If
directions and punch your guitar, rather than strumming it. He seems to play it
This tab is how I play it. On the G and C chords I'm really only strumming the E, A, and
strings, and picking the G string each time. Satan!
