"Redbone" by Childish Gambino
Tabbed by Kenneth Wesley and Vishnu Sriram
I'd love if you checked out my Youtube channel: kenempa :)

Enjoy!

Note: Fairly confident that this song is tuned at 432Hz in D# Minor, as opposed to the typical 440Hz.
Relative to 440Hz, this is about 32 cents flat in D# Minor.
