Hey there; been a while. Here's a terrific Sparklehorse tune for you, that I can't believe hasn't been tabbed yet. The song itself is recorded on a slightly overdriven / compressed acoustic guitar, but you can strum this out cleanly and it still sounds wonderful: Intro: Every other A-Minor chord, Mark does a little riff like this: e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------0h1--0---------------------------------------------------------| G|-----2--------2-0-----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--0-------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| Verse: Once I was a big old bear Reigning blows on sparkly snares In the woods after the snow The white noise witch her hammers cold Rest beneath the pine and rose In our suits and Sunday clothes Cheer up my brother It's gonna be al-right All the instruments cut out, save for this guitar riff: e|-----------3----------------------------------------------------------| B|-------0--------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----4---3------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| I know your hearts are heavy as mountains e|-----------3----------------------------------------------------------| B|-------0--------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----4---3------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| We're gonna go back home one day Verse - Chorus - Verse - Fuzz/Tinkle out...
