Tabbed By: yulizavala22 Sunrise Over Sea This is originally played on the banjo but I managed to play it on guitar I just had to to tune it differently. Tuning: Open G DGDGBD This song is technically played in open G tuning but I like to tune it slightly lower to give it a deeper more authentic sound There isn't much played in the song, it is just repeated but there are a few different parts, this is the first one

D|---------7-5---|
B|---6---------6-| This is repeated thought the whole song
G|-----7---------| and doesn't change much
D|-5-----5-------|
G|---------------|
D|---------------|

Then after this part comes in this, which can be played two different ways, they sound similar but I'll let you decided.

1st one
D|---------7-5---|
B|---6---------6-|
G|-----7---------|
D|-8-----8-------|
G|---------------|
D|---------------|

2nd one
D|-----------8------|
B|---10--------8-10-|
G|------10----------|
D|-8-------8--------|
G|------------------|
D|------------------|

Then comes in this bridge thing part and it gets a little difficult to play but it is doable

D|---------3--5-----------3--5---------3-5-|

Then after this is just goes back and repeats, so there is not much to this song, but what there is, is a bit difficult to learn. If you listen to the song it will be easy to match up the parts. Enjoy :]
