Half Italian singer/guitarist Anna Calvi grew up being exposed to a multitude of genres of music by her music-loving father. According to the Suzanne and I Songfacts, she cites the classical composers Ravel and Debussy among her influences and her music has been described as "brooding melodramatic goth-pop."
At the age of 17 and after eschewing art school in favor of a music degree, Calvi began to learn her trade and started to assemble musical partnerships.

Tuning: Half-step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) Key: Em
notes: I've watched a lot of video of Anna playing this song and this is exactly how she plays it. However, she always ends the song with a chord I can't quite figure out, it some kind of weird G# major so additional info on that is very welcome. For the strumming pattern(s) refer to the actual song. Also make sure you play barre Em chord where noted so.
