Carbon Leaf - I Know The Reason

hey everybody! this is something i whipped up rather quickly since i couldn’t
find any tabs or chords for this song . i went off of my memory of the song , so it
might not be 100% accurate , but it sounds close enough to me . if you find
something that can be fixed , then please let me know in the comments . and , of
course , thanks for checking out my tab!

in the song , there are no chords during the verses . however , if you want to play
something , then use the a chord throughout the verses . if you’re playing by
yourself , you can also play it like this :

E | – – – – 0 – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – 0 – – – – – |
B | – – – – 2 – – – – – – 2 – – – – – – 2 – – – – – | in this , you use your thumb on the
G | – – – – 2 – – – – – – 2 – – – – – – 2 – – – – – | low E string to mimic the baseline .
D | – – – – 2 – – – – – – 2 – – – – – – 2 – – – – – |
A | – – – – 0 – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – 0 – – – – – |
E | – – – – x – – – – – – 2 – – – – – – 0 – – – – – |

x = muted note
