Song: Soot + Stars Tuning: Standard Notes on the Tab: *For the sake of time, I didn't really lable the chords and just named them by the base, in the diagrams, that is how I play them, and they are always played in that order. *The notes in (x) are ones that I decide to play on whims to mix it up a little since it a long song. *Obviously this is a much simplified way of playing the song, and even more so, it is my of playing the song, so change the chord figerings and plunkings to whatever you want. **This song is meant for a piano, yet this tab is for a guitar. **This tab is really just because I like playing the song, yet can't play piano. Listening to the song should help you get the strumming. Verse
