Field Medic – Clear Thoughts Of Morning (Guitar Tab)
Celtic (D-A-D-G-A-D)
• Capo 2
Auto-scroll
Speed:
1.0x
Been wanting this tab for years and I've finally figured it out today. I've got it as accurate as I could
but he adds a lot of flourishes and variations
This is based off his live cover from Sofar San Francisco (2013) and by ear from the studio version.
All relative to the capo
