In From Japan Cifras

Notes:  This is arranged for Open D tuning (DADF#AD) with a capo on the 1st fret, which is what Madison is
using as far as I can tell based on the single live video posted on YouTube so far.  Next (in a separate
version), I'll take a stab at an adaptation for standard tuning of this amazing tune.  Enjoy!

Lord only knows it’s been weighing on your mind

Waiting on an act of God

To level the pressure and the claustrophobia

Did you expect anything more, or less?

Animation of yourself

The dog days
                           D/F#
Are getting smaller as you pull away
                             F5
A phone line from the future calls to say
