HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN - Kina Grannis

EDIT: This is how it should be played! The chords from the last version were
TOTALLY off! I tried to do it without actually tuning m guiatr down and got some
of the transposing wrong!
This is right now!
This song is from her album 'Sincerely, Me'. Its a great song! Once you've tuned
down its not that difficult either!
Tuning: 1 and a 1/2 steps down.

Far too long, sky turning to the night.

If I tried to come back down

Climbing clouds and pulling with all her might.

Closing her mind to the ill-fated,
E Am
She sighed.

Go on and ignore me.
