Tuning: EADGBE Here is my interpretation of how the guys played Golden when they performed it live for the first time recently. (Note: to play as if it were on the record "Nothing Is Sound" just put a Capo on 1st fret!) The chords with a * after them are what I believe Jon Foreman is playing in the live performance.
