Apocalypse Lullaby by The Wailin' Jennys
This is an open tuning: CFCFAC
I play it mostly strumming all the strings and only muting the very
occasional one on the 4x0230 chord. I'm sure that's not quite right ;)
I wrote this tab based on Hugo Glanville's youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYJ6RQRMa9I
It's a bit different from the original track by The Wailin' Jennys, but
it's good enough to sing to and maybe a bit simpler to play.
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
My time notation is the . | stuff below the tab. '.'s are beats, '|'s are
measure starts. Good enough for me.
Tempo ~80bpm
Capo 2
