The Trapeze Swinger Tab

                             TRAPEZE SWINGER - Iron & Wine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Jake Denmark
 
This is tabbed off the Live Sessions album available only from iTunes.
This song is beautiful, and I'm really happy to have another recording.
It's a nice sounding alternative to the original version, and it's
definitely more interesting to play.
 
Update 2023: I can't find this version online anymore. Here are a couple of similar playings
- Live @ACL 2009 (Capo 3rd fret) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFzEZ3fG1Nc
- Live at Aquarius (Capo 4th fret) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW5dlUxiJtQ
 
Note: This is basically played in travis style picking except that the
1st note is held, skipping the 2nd eighth note. I've tried to show this
by using an equals sign (=) where the note is held longer. Also play the
0h2 hammer-on slowly, like two separate notes.
 
 
 
Tuning: Standard (Capo 2nd fret)

C               G          F5
please remember me, happily
       C        G
by the rosebush laughing
     C              G                F5
with bruises on my chin, the time when
             C              G
we counted every black car passing
      Am                  G              F5
your house beneath the hill, and up until
         C                 G
someone caught us in the kitchen
      Am                G               F5
with maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank
         C              G
a vision too removed to mention
