When The Stars Come Out Acoustic Tab by Chris Stapleton

When The Stars Come Out Acoustic tab by Chris Stapleton

Guitar Tab

Like all of Stapleton's songs, the annotations very slightly between versions and such.
I've added a few of the annotations that he plays throughout for reference.
This is tabbed from the Tiny Music Desk concert YouTube video.
