Sufjan Stevens – All The Trees Of The Field Will Clap Their Hands tab ver. 2

Because the original is played on banjo, I recommend playing the song in open G tuning: 
DGDGBD.  It's a fairly simple tuning to get even for beginners and only involves tuning 
the E, A, and e strings down a whole step.

I also highly recommend fingerpicking the rhythm but you can use a pick if you're more 
comfortable with it.

The notes plucked barely translate to full chords, but for those who would like them 
I'll try my best to identify the best chord to fit.

[This pattern repeats the entire song, starting on the D7 at the beginning of each phrase. It should be very straight forward but I've labeled where the chord changes are approximately in each line if you're off on the changes.] D7 Cadd9 F6 Cadd9 D7 Cadd9 F6 Cadd9 D7 Cadd9 F6 Cadd9 If I am alive this time next year D7 Cadd9 F6 Cadd9 D7 Cadd9 F6 Cadd9 Will I have arrived in time to share?
