I Go to the Barn Because I Like The Band of Horses
This is an exhaustive tab of the intro with chords for the rest of the song
Intro:
Basically your left hand will shift through various chords (DAGA) while the right
hand finger picks. A "*" indicates the best time to transition from chord to chord.
In other words, lift your left hand entirely off the fretboard on every "*" so you
can hit your next chord on time.
