What He Wrote

Laura Marling

Text File

Well this is my first tab! This is a song my friend Justin taught me, and he learned it from a studio acoustic session of this song, so it's right for that... I've just written it all down. It's super easy to play once you get the hang of it... your two fingers never leave the lower D and F# strings. There are little changes in the picking every once in a while that you'll have to listen for. Enjoy!
