St. Augustine Band of Horses
"(1)
Okay, I have searched high and low on the internet for accurate tabs to this
song, and i have to say, i am not very pleased with the tabs people have
posted. I do NOT use a capo to play this song, and neither does band of
horses from what i can hear. all they do is drop down a half step, which
sounds MUCH better than with the use of a capo. Here is my tab of the song
learned completely by ear. If you want to learn this song the CORRECT way,
than this tab is for you. Enjoy!

There you have it! The only accurate St. Augustine tab on the internet. I love
this song, and it really bugged me that there was no dead-on tabs out there for
it, so i decided i would share this with everyone. Hope you enjoyed it.
