Band of Horses – The Funeral (Guitar Tab)

Auto-scroll

Chords

I listened to the song closely and during the intro the guitarist is sliding through first chord shapes. There is also a bit of delay. In order to do that, you have to use shapes than what have already been listed (and, also, you'll need an amp with effects to the delay). So...here's the tab in the best form I can give you (this is my first atempt a tab). Enjoy. This is a great new band. I had the chance to see them when they toured with Iron Wine. Check out their debut LP on Sub Pop - several great tracks along with Funeral. not 100% on the lyrics, though I think they're closer than what I've seen before.) [Intro]
