BOATS & BIRDS - by Gregory and the Hawk
Standard tuning
Capo on 3rd fret


This is a stunningly beautiful song, though the tab versions I found on
the net sounded a little different from the original recording. So here
is my updated version of the tab the way I play it, for all my fellow
fans of this gorgeous track.

This is lovely sounding and very simple to play, once you figure out
the shape and the correct notes. Here is the simple way of playing it
-
just put a capo on 3rd fret.

I have tabbed in relation to the capo, so the '0' is the open note
with capo on 3rd fret. The bracketed notes can be played alternatively.
Try and maintain a slow, even plucking throughout the whole song.
Enjoy :)
