Calvary - Mandolin Orange

Tabbed by:Heath-C

Tuning: standard capo 3
This is my first tab and I know there are a lot of mistakes, omissions, and a few minor
variations to the way Andrew plays it but I think the notes and chords are basically
correct. I watched a video on youtube from a Duckpond Pottery concert (right down the
road from me in Brevard NC) and you can see the chords he plays pretty clearly. He appears to
add a note to his Dm, Barres the FF Chord at the end of the first verse, and adds a few
more hammer ons that I have here but I was not able to hear the difference from this
version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMBRB3gaJgo
I did not place tablature for the intermediate strumming. The root notes seems to lead
the song and the strumming fills in the gaps. If you listen to the song you will know
what to do. Feedback is welcome.
