I Was an Eagle - Laura Marling Tabbed by: Quentin Ames Watch the Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch'v=U8hQ_k2qaBk Tuning: CGCGGE This is the 2nd song of the first four song medley from the album Once I Was an Eagle The strumming throughout this song is a consistent up and down strum with her thumb. Counted 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a (technically speaking!) If you just relax and feel it out it might be easier than trying to count it. I guess it just depends on what kind of person you are.
