Deep Blue Sea Tab

by Grizzly Bear


This is my first tab, it's is how i play the Friend EP version of Deep Blue Sea 
by Grizzly Bear. 
Might not be 100% correct, but sounds good to me. 
Not sure about the chord names and i think you can figure out the 
strumming/picking patterns yourself.

Chords:

First and last verses:

E                E2 (don't know the name of that one)

e--x--           e--x--           
B--x--           B--x--
G--x--           G--x--
D--6--           D--7--
A--2--           A--3--
E--0--           E--0--

               

e--x--           e--x--           
B--x--           B--x--
G--x--           G--x--
D--4--           D--6--
A--4--           A--6--
E--5--           E--7--

From the last "sea" of the first verse until the last "aaaah" of third verse
(which i have indicated with three exclamation marks) pick these instead:

E                E2 (don't know the name of that one)

e--4--           e--5--           
B--0--           B--0--
G--1--           G--2--
D--x--           D--x--
A--2--           A--3--
E--0--           E--0--

               

e--2--           e--4--           
B--2--           B--4--
G--2--           G--4--
D--4--           D--4--
A--0--           A--2--
