Girlyman – The Shape I Found You In
Official website: www.girlyman.com
Ty Greenstein of Girlyman writes love songs with a depth of longing that we mere mortals
only marvel at. Here is my puny interpretation of one of her best.
Tuning: EADGAC#
Capo 1
Tune you guitar like this from standard tuning:
1. Lower your B [5th] string one whole step to A (2nd fret on the G string)
2. Lower your high E [6th] string 1-1/2 steps to C# (4th fret on your newly tuned A
string)
3. Apply your capo to fret 1
Please tune carefully or it will sound like ass. I play the low G note with my thumb
the G chord as a bar.
There are several simple picking patterns that repeat:

Example:
A G
You were delivered to me
A D D1 - D2 - D3
We were closed as the stores on Christmas Eve
A E1
So I felt around in the dark
G D1
Building rope ladders into your heart
D1 E2 G
Climbing hand over hand to get in
D1 E2 A
That's the shape I found you in
D1 E2 A
That's the shape I found you in
