Swan Dive Acoustic Tab

by Sister Hazel


Song: Swan Dive (Acoustic)
Band: Sister Hazel

Tuning: Standard
Capo: 4th Fret

The song is in the key of C# which makes the open chords look abit nasty
(lost of sharp's) so I've Capo'd at the 4th fret to simplify the chords and
to get the correct voicing. I havent tabbed the solo's - just do your own
notes to aim for.

Chords (Relative to Capo):

     /                              /

D|-2-------2--------2--------4--------0-------2-------6--------2---------|
A|-0-------0--------0--------4--------0-------2-------6--------4---------|
E|-0-------4--------2--------2--------0-------0-------4--------0---------|
