The Horrible Crowes song Cherry Blossom, the 6th track of the record: 'Elsie'. It’s in standard tuning, and no capo. The song appears difficult to learn and play, however once the chord shapes, which are very simple are learnt, the rest falls into place. The chords in the Chorus are played as the barre chord variants, whereas the chords in the bridge are played in the open variants. Intro: (In Arpeggios): The arpeggios include the open notes from the GBE strings.
