Shoot the Poets
guitar tabs lyrics
I'm pretty sure that Ryan Jarman plays it in a different tuning, but you can make it
allbeit with a couple of hard streches, in standard tuning, WITH A CAPO ON THE 2ND FRET.
FINGERING SUGGESTIONS: for the strings, it is best to finger-pick it, using your 4th
on the 2nd string, 3rd finger on the 3rd string, and 2nd finger on the 4th string, with
thumb on the 5th and 6th strings.
Fret Positions:

then the chorus is:

Then repeat the verse and the chorus, before following into the solo/bridge:
e|------------4-4-4-4-4-----7-7-7-7-6-----6--7--6-------4--2-4-6-6-4-4-2-2-----------|
B|------7-4-4-----------4-4-----------4-4---4--4--4--/2---2-----------------2--------|

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
then revert to the chorus, which this time is strummed a little more rather than picked,
finally the intro, which is almost exactly the same.
Enjoy!
