The Tallest Man On Earth - Death Letter Tabs

The Tallest Man on Earth

CAPO 8
TUNING: CGCGCF
Strumming not notated, honestly it gets pretty crazy at times


I'm sorry for the roughness of this, in some parts the words and chords don't perfectly 
match up, you'll have to watch the video for exact timeing. It's a start though and 
sounds pretty good.
