This is my very first tab. So, please don't tear me apart.
Such a simple tab, but such beautiful song.
This is also one of my favorite songs in their new album.

"I love for music to be like cinema and there be a beginning and an end and a climax and
all those good things. But sometimes it's best served to keep it even pace. You have to
fight all of tendencies to stay on that even cue with this song and keep things mellow
from front to back. And I think because of it, you have a sense of drama because of, you
know, there is none." John Paul White on Dust to Dust

Tuning: Standard
Capo: 1st Fret
The guitar is palm muted throughout the song.
