Regina Spektor – The Flowers (Guitar Tab)

Chords

The tuning for this song is EbADGBE. So like standard, but the low E is tuned down a half-step. Requires a liiittle bit of stretching, but I found this to be the most comfortable way to play the song. I left out the outro parts because I'd have to drop the low E string down to C, which would make the song much less comfortable to play. Maybe the ending could be a place to improvise! If anyone comes up with another arrangement that allows for one to comfortably play the WHOLE song, I would really love to see it! [Intro]
