Andrew Bird - Masterswarm

i couldn’t find this anywhere on the internet . this is my first tab but i’m
pretty sure it’s accurate . i’m not too sure about the Dm7 over “as he acts with
more . . . ” so feel free to email me at bill . croughan . bill@gmail . com for any corrections

i think he’s actually tuned a half step down because it sounds like the bass note
goes low for the D# but i’m too lazy so it sounds good in standard too .
