Uncomfortably Slow
Hand Built by robots
Updated, more advanced version of this song from the album Hand Built by Robots. This
pretty much exactly how he plays it. Capo 2nd, all fingerings and chord names adjusted
such. I know some of the chord names look a bit ridiculous, but just play the notes and
sounds right. You're going to love it, I promise.

On the E and D add9s in the verses and lead-ups he sometimes mutes the high E string (or
with the capo) also he sometimes plays it open, and sometimes plays without the add 9,
x54035, x32010 etc... He even plays it as a Dmaj7 right in the beginning, i.e. x3200x
to it closely and you'll get it. However I am just going to call them all add9s
this tab. You can pretty much use the Dadd9 and Dsus2M7 interchangeably.
