tabbed by : christian demmings
email : cdemmings@hotmail . com
tuning : daniel johnston signature tuning; or some crazy , off – version of standard . if
like to replicate the live version off the 1990 album , turn all your keys A 1/4 turn in
directions and punch your guitar , rather than strumming it . he seems to play it
every performance .
this tab is how i play it . on the G and C chords i’m really only strumming the E , A , and
strings , and picking the G string each time . satan!
