Quick note about the tuning: The tuning on the studio version is C#G#C#FA#C# (Same as Simulation Swarm, The
Only Place, etc.) But it's easier to play it one half step higher, and tune the guitar to DADF#BD. This is
also what Big Thief does live, and makes for an easier tab to read imo.

Tuning: DADF#BD / C#G#C#FA#C#

When playing live Adrianne follows this general picking pattern, but there are lots of deviations, e.g. she
plays harmonics on the 12th, 7th and 5th fret quite a bit, especially in the intro, outro and after the G and
A chords. And of course there's a lot of guitar effects that further distort the sound.

I'll come for

Come for you,

[Verse 8]

 I am the teet

Feed for you,
