<< Back to Colter Wall Song List
Version 1
Colter plays this song in Drop D, however, if you Capo 2 on all strings except low E you can play it in
standard tuning. This also raises the key and may make it easier to sing.
During the first lines of each Verse, Colter plays a little riff on the D that I believe goes something
like this. On the second line of each Verse, the low D note is not played and instead change to A.
