I Have Considered The Lilies tab by Connie Converse

Guitar Tab

Capo on 1st
Difficulty: Intermediate

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

The song follows an ABA form. The intro and outro are slower (quarter note = 88 bpm) and the eighth notes are
swung; the B section is faster (quarter note = 124 bpm) and played straight.

The recording sounds about 50 cents detuned, so it's hard to tell if it's meant to be played in G (no capo) or
A flat (capo 1st fret). As she mentions in the track, she hadn't prepared the song for recording, so the last
few bars are a bit murky. I did my best to approximate the chords and voicings I thought fit.
