 ELover, tell me if you can
Who’s gonna buy the wedding bands?

To lay their gold around my feet
All the flashing in the pan, all the fashion for your hand

The almond and the apple
And the sugar from the maple

Notes:

-I transcribed this from a youtube video and she plays it in B.  I believe the studio 
recording is in C, which would mean capo 8 with these chord shapes.
-fairly basic travis picking pattern; do whatever sounds right to you.
-Eurydice is the female part and Orpheus is the male part.
