Title And Registration tab by Death Cab For Cutie

Tabs

Title and Registration is such a great song to play - and once you learn, it's so simple.
I've been working on this song for the fun of it for a while now. And I've come to realize that there are a few mistakes
on some other tab versions that I see. And please don't get me wrong, most of it is correct. But they don't have a few key parts.
I'll show you what I find is closer to the real thing.

Standard tuning: (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB e)
Kapo on 2nd fret. (Otherwise, it will sound low and a tad off...)
No picking. I find it's harder and it is not how Chris Walla plays it. But whatever you're comfortable with, run with it -
But try both picking and fingering.

*NOTE: This is the WHOLE song.

*NOTE: The three open strings is a 'roll'. Thus, they are not played at the same time but flow into each other,
starting from the D MajorD string. This applies every time you see the three notes in this song.
