OH HENRY - The Civil Wars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Charlie Hillman

Tried out the other version and saw a few mistakes, and wasn't the most helpful
tab to learn, so I decided to make my own based on his :)
I had a good stab at doing the strumming patterns, but to properly get it you have
to listen to the song a bit.

Tuning: DADGAD
Capo on 3rd (Live version is on 5th)

D - Downstroke

U - Upstroke


Intro

Play the first bar, then the bar for the first time only. Repeat the first bar,
then playing the bar for the second
time only. Do a few random strokes on that chord at the end leading into the verse.

First Time Only Second Time Only
