			     LORD GOD BIRD – Sufjan Stevens
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Steven Green
Email: DonJuanDracula25@yahoo.com

Tuning: Standard, Capo on 4
Sufjan plays this pretty freely, so this tab may not always exactly match the small
that he sometimes throws in. The bright banjoiness can be somewhat brought out by playing
to the bridge.
