Flightless Bird American Mouth tab by Iron & Wine

Flightless Bird, American Mouth

Really easy song composed of 4 chords and a simple plucking pattern. This is 100% accurate.
Previous tabs i've seen have been close, but this is how he actually plays is.

This song is played with a capo on the 3rd fret.
