Artist: Julien Baker Song: Favor Album: Little Oblivions (2021) Tabbed By: NS ==================================================================================== This is based on Julien's live performances of this song, but the chords do match the recorded version too. Everything is pretty much straight 8th notes, except live she flourishes a little on the strumming pattern in the first verse/chorus section. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0BjA9ksBXI - Live on The Late Late Show [Intro]
