Hello, everyone!
I'm still new to tab making, but my friend wanted me to play
this song for her on guitar, and I saw that there weren't any chords
around for this song, so I went ahead and arranged this.
*For beginners or those of you who want to go 100% scroll to the bottom! I strongly
suggest checking it out!*
If you have any comments or suggestions, let me know.
Enjoy! :)

If you would like to finger-pick the song rather than strum it in order to give it that
music box feeling
(like the original song), I suggest that you use some sort of variation of this pattern:
(everything relative to Capo 1)
1 e|-------x--x---------x--x---------x--x-------x--x----|
2 B|-------x--x---------x--x---------x--x-------x--x----|
3 G|----------------------------------------------------|
4 D|----------------------------------------------------|
5 A|---x-----------x----------x-----------x-------------|
6 E|----------------------------------------------------|
or
1 e|-------x----------x------------x----------x---------|
2 B|-------x----------x------------x----------x---------|
3 G|----------x----------x------------x----------x------|
4 D|----------x----------x------------x----------x------|
5 A|---x-----------x----------x------------x------------|
6 E|----------------------------------------------------|
Basically, any pattern that involves picking the 5th or 6th string
(don't pick the 6th string on the C and Am chords), and then
picking two top strings at the same time. You could pick strings 1+2 two times (the
first tab shown up there)
or 1+2 and 3+4 (the second one shown up there), or 1+2 and 2+3;
do whatever *you* feel is most comfortable and sounds best to you.
*Cool Tips*
~I suggest using the barre chord for F, because all it takes to switch to that Fm is
lifting a finger.
HOWEVER, you can use this "easy F" chord shape
1 |--o--|-----|-----|
2 |--o--|-----|-----|
3 |-----|--o--|-----|
4 |-----|-----|--o--|
5 X|-----|-----|-----|
6 X|-----|-----|-----|
Fret 1 2 3
and this "easy Fm" shape:
1 |--o--|-----|-----|
2 |--o--|-----|-----|
3 |--o--|-----|-----|
4 |-----|-----|--o--|
5 X|-----|-----|-----|
6 X|-----|-----|-----|
Fret 1 2 3
Just make sure to not hit the last two strings!
~After the Am chord on the line "..ocean of grey," pick the open 5th string, then put your
finger on the 3rd fret of the 6th string and pick that, and then continue finger picking
starting with the
6th string. This should match up with the whole notes in the song during that part.
