Song: "Nothing Gets Crossed Out"
Album: "Lifted or The Story is in the Soil,
Keep Your Ear to the Ground"

Extraordinarily beautiful song by Bright Eyes. See the chord chart
provided for proper chord voicings. Not sure that the chord I call
"G/A" and the chord I call "C11" are really named this way, but
these are the closest chords I could think of. In any event, the
notes provided in the chord chart below for each of these chords are
correct. Also, while I provide the whole chord, Bright Eyes generally
plays only the low strings of each chord in this song (i.e. only the
6th, 5th, 4th, and 3rd strings). This will become apparent to you
upon playing the song. Dashes (-) after chords in transcription
indicated quick chord changes. Lyrics provided accurately indicate
when chords come in. Finally, song is in standard tuning
(i.e. 6-E,5-A,4-D,3-G,2-B,1-E),no capo.
