I’m highly motivated,” says postmillennial troubadour Jeremy Fisher. “I love getting my hands in there.” The Vancouver-based writer/artist used those hands (which are generally affixed to his trusty acoustic guitar) to shoot the stop-motion footage and fashion the anthropomorphic title character of his $60 homemade video for “Cigarette,” which has became a viral phenomenon of mega-proportions on YouTube, with north of 2 million views as this is written.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Notice that the index finger stays on the B-string for the whole song.
If you look it up on You Tube you can see he keeps the same position for the whole even playing the low F with his thumb.

This might also be a good way to figure out the intro!
Good luck!!!
LYRICS
It's cold when it's October here But the leaves are burnin red There's one still hanging on my tree That just won't give into the wind
I had faith in one thing That was gravity But you took my feet from the ground so high I don't know what that word even means
(Chorus:) You're always dreamin so far ahead I feel a little left behind We will never find each other my love In the same place at the same time
You never saw yourself as an artist I never saw a portrait like your smile We never saw each other first time we looked But good things take a while
And you wish to have it figured out Every detail of your life Well it's kind of a drag to think about You not figuring into mine
[Chorus:]
So I'm putting this love for you out there And it will not be bound by time I'll be in your hands as a deck of cards And on your lips like cheap red wine
