FARE THEE WELL (Emily Saliers)
------------------------------
[Actually in F#; capo 6.]
[Tune both E strings down to D.]
[Complete tablature is at the end.]
[Some of the chord names are kind of strange; this is what happens
 when you use alternate tunings.  Refer to the tab at the end for
 fingerings.]
[Thanks to Rich Tebb and Mark Coiley for the collaboration on the tab.]

TAB:

[An equal sign is a hammer-on; / is a slide.]
[Play all the notes on the lower three strings with your thumb.]
[Each verse might have a few more or less notes, but the same fingerings.
 The only big difference is the extra G#dim (6x0x0x) in verse 3.]
[Actually, you can play it without tuning the high E down, if you want to
 avoid the risk of string breakage.  The only adjustment you have to make
 is in the second measure of the intro, and also on the "easy" version of
 the G9 measures.]

[Note that in order to do the x5746x chord, you need to use your pinky
 and ring fingers for the Am7 and D(11/)A, rather than the index and
 middle fingers.  Then you slide up to the next chords, and use the
 index and middle fingers for the 5 and 4 in the G9.  If that's too
 hard, use the following instead:]

[Or you can play 0's on the B string instead of 4's on the G string; it sounds
 fine, but then the ending chord has to include a hammer-on from B to C.]
