Song: Cassiopeia Artist: Joanna Newsom Album: "The Milk-Eyed Mender" Tab by Devin Miller Tuning: Standard EADGBe ***CAPO 2nd Fret ****************************************************************** INTRO: I will tab these harmonics as if there was no capo...because they are high up on the fret board (so play these on the indicated fret with a capo on 2).

A E D E Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh. F#m E D E Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopiea. A E D E Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh. F#m E D E Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopiea. ----- Esus4 E Cassiopeia. Bm E Esus4 Cassiopeia!
