DOUBTING THOMAS - Nickel Creek
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Jake Denmark
Tuning: Standard, Capo I
A really nice song off "Why Should The Fire Die?" I believe that it is really
played with no capo, but a capo on the 1st fret makes it a lot easier, and it
makes a difference only during the bridge when the bass notes are a bit high.
Scroll down for chords only. Enjoy!
