The Avett Brothers - Marriage

originally performed by bombadil .
capo on 5th
chords used : F F2 * C G
scott performing on youtube :
* F2 = an F chord played with the first finger on the second fret ( so when the capo
is on 5 , the F chord begins at 7 ) . i’m not entirely sure what chord this is , but
i believe technically it’s A G

the ornament at the beginning played with “what would you say to marriage” starts
at C , them moves up to F2 with these three notes :

E | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – 1 – – |
B | – – 1 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – 1 – – |
G | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 4 – – 2 – – |
D | – – 2 – – – – – 0 – – 2 – – 3 – – – – 5 – – 3 – – |
