Autumn Ben Rector
This tab works well for me playing and singing by myself, but Ben plays some
passing chords throughout the song on the piano, so its close but not perfect.
I play this song with an open E sound, so i play the E, A, B, and C#m chords like this:
[E] [A] [B] [C#m] [F#m] [Dmaj7]
e ||---0-----0-----0------0-------2--------2----------| B ||---0-----0-----0------0-------2--------2----------| G ||---1-----2-----4------6-------2--------2----------| D ||---2-----2-----4------6-------4--------0----------| A ||---2-----0-----2------4-------4--------0----------| E ||---0-----0-----0------0-------2--------0----------|
