Artist: Thea Gilmore Song: "The Cracks" Album: Avalanche Transcribed by: Sean Ainsworth Capo on 1st fret. Fingerpicked. Chords are relative to capo. Chords used (standard tuning): E Am Bm7 A e---0----0----2----0--- A---0----1----0----2--- G---1----2----2----2--- D---2----2----1----2--- B---2----0----2----0--- E---0----0----0----0--- I've broken the tab into progressions to make it easier to write out and read. Really the only difference between this and playing the chord twice is that there's an extra note (in parentheses) which is sometimes picked and sometimes isn't; I'll leave that up to you, but there are chords played only once, so watch out for missing *asterisks*.

That's all. Enjoy.
