Oh Henry Tabs

(ver. 2)
The Civil Wars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tried out the other version and saw a few mistakes, and wasn't the most helpful 
tab to learn, so I decided to make my own based on his :)
I had a good stab at doing the strumming patterns, but to properly get it you have 
to listen to the song a bit. 

Tuning: DADGAD 
Capo on 3rd (Live version is on 5th)

D - Downstroke

U - Upstroke 


Intro                         

Play the first bar, then the bar for the first time only. Repeat the first bar, 
then playing the bar for the second 
time only. Do a few random strokes on that chord at the end leading into the verse. 

                              First Time Only                  Second Time Only
