Chords
This song shares a very similar fingerpicking pattern to his other Live At Foster Bowl song "Summer Windows"
I highly recommend learning them both, as they share so much, however,
Summer Windows, is likely an easier starting song, and the way I learnt them.
Jake, in his live performance, does a couple of different chord switches from the G to the C.
I have tried to capture in the tab which chord change has a distinct hammer on of the B string,
and which are hammered on more like a tap (string is not plucked first) in these instances I have not
tabbed the note prior to the hammer on and simply reads "h2" instead of "0h2".

[Lyrics]
Strange weather in Tokyo
If I saw the light, would I know?
She tiptoes to me in her sleeping clothes
A million different people go to work
Strange letters you left to me
Burning in my drawer on the bowery
Letters I cannot bear to read
Far away from me as I can be
Sha-la-la, oh, my word
How am I still unsure?
I don't wanna think about you anymore
Two bluebirds in Martha bar
Two shoes on my feet
Oh-oh-oh, to be a stranger on the street
Gray, clever, dirty sheets
West Virginia trees in my teeth
One more cigarette in my tea leaves
You predict the future for a fee
Sha-la-la, oh, my word
How am I still unsure?
I don't wanna think about you anymore
Two bluebirds in Martha bar
Two shoes on my feet
Oh-oh-oh, to be a stranger on the street
