               Death With Dignity - Sufjan Stevens
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Wesski

I did my best to line all the lyrics up with the picking properly, however some don't line up perfectly simply
due to how many characters are in each word.
Tuning: Standard

Capo 7th fret (chords relative to capo)
