Biography:
Alela Diane Menig (born April 20, 1983, Nevada City, California, USA) is an American singer and songwriter. She grew up singing with her musician parents and performing in the school choir. She taught herself guitar, and began writing songs which blend tense, trance-like arpeggios with warm vocals and meditative lyrics about family and nature. Her first recordings were self-released in 2003 as Forest Parade. Her first solo public appearances were at the invitation of fellow Nevada City native Joanna Newsom.

This is mostly drawn from the low-key performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AB9xsRzAto.

Please comment if you have some nice variation worked out, or any improvements.
Not positive that the G Major 7th chord is correct, but its what the guitarist in the first video seems
to be doing, and it sounds ok to me. I'm not sure whether she sings "burning" or "hurting" in the chorus.
In the first video it sounds like she sings "hurting" both times, but in the second video it seems like
"burning" in the first chorus, then "hurting" in the second. Any input there is appreciated.
I love this song, and it is really fun to play. Enjoy!
