 First Day of My Life - Bright Eyes
 
 Tabbed by Austin Bodin - austin.bodin@gmail.com
 
 This is a really neat song on the Bright Eyes folk album, 'I'm Wide Awake It's Morning'.
 One day I saw that someone had tabbed a Travis picking version of this song, and while it was ok,
 I thought I'd do my own version because Travis picking is just so damn fun,
 especially with folksy/bluegrass/country songs. If you're unfamiliar with
 Travis picking, think Dust in the Wind by Kansas, or just do a quick google search,
 it's pretty straightforward to grasp.
 
 Enjoy!
