Guitar Tab

‘We Laugh Indoors’ – Death Cab For Cutie (from The Photo Album)

Tabbed by Matt Stalker (mattjstalker@aol.com)

Standard tuning

Key
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
x = percussive sound made by muting the strings with the left hand
p = pull off
h = hammer on
[7] or [12] = harmonic at 7th or 12th fret

The guitar is pretty sparse for the most part, but where it is playing the timing
can be quite tricky. This probably isn’t all perfect, but it’s fairly close, I think.
