Gravel Ani DiFranco
<i></i>Ani Difranco
Little Plastic Castles
Standard tuning
Song is basically 3 open chords with a lot of partial chords and hammer-ons and her
signature staccato style. Sounds a lot harder than it is.
Listen to the song to get the feel for the really fast chord strums and the hammer-ons.
play it this way live. Hard to find Ani tabs so I wrote out this one for the Ani fans out there.

She sort of goes on and on here. I prefer to cut it off. Finish with verse X2, ending on
