Вступление
This song reminds me of their cover of "Girl From The North Country" and Pearl Jam's "Just
Breathe". It is destined to be one of the Crows' best, though I say that every time they
release anything.
Dan fingerpicks this song. I have tabbed out the intro because it gives a pretty good
representation of the pattern and variations he uses throughout the song. The bass is
played by alternating the thumb between the lowest and second lowest string every 1/4
note. When he does the walkdown during the verses ("And I buy all my days"), he seems to
only hit the bass note of each chord so I have notated it as such.
In the "chorus", for lack of a better term, the D-G-D-G parts ("All night long"), he
strums the chords.
Now on to the bridge. It gets sort of difficult here because the second guitar starts
playing a big part and there is also more occasional strumming. At "colored lights", a very
distinctive picking pattern appears and I have written it out there. The chord names
represent those picking patterns until the end of the bridge, at which point you can return
to normal chord forms. You can barre the first two forms but make sure not to hit that D
string. Sorry if it is confusing, but I promise I could have made it much worse.
I hope my tab does this beautiful song justice.
