CAPO 2
There are two guitars.. one strumming chords, the other strums
then picks some notes out of the chord. The C chord has some Cadd9
flourishes... (The solo might not by in octaves but since I can't
afford all those cool effects this gets me close...)
Em C
are you the plane
Em D C
that shapes the board
Em D/F# G D5 C
part of a history
Em D C
smoothed and worn

Em D C
to see my life
Em D/F G D5 C
you must cut me down
Em D C
to look inside
