Band: Damien Rice (http://www.damienrice.com/) Song: Cannonball Tabber: Andrew Biles This is my favourite off the album by a long way, and it's such great guitar work, and pretty simple to play as the whole song's based mainly around about 4/5 chords and only two parts (which are slightly different each time, but I've left it the same because it still sounds good). The tab is all in relation to the capo, you have to listen out for the timing a bit harder in this song than others as there's a couple of guitars going at the same time.

There's a couple of rests thrown in there, just play it a few times and you'll see what I mean. After that, just play the intro/verse part over, it's slightly different again, but not by much.

Teach me to be shy 'Cause it's not hard to fall And I don't WANNA scare her It's not hard to fall And I don't wanna lose It's not hard to grow When you know that you just don't know
