To make the intro a little bit easier, transpose it two half steps down (and all the numbers in the tab minus 2). To stay in the same key after transposing, place a capo on the second fret. Originally by The Postal Service.

Intro - x2 -: GDCGDVerse:
GD
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
CG
in our eyes are mirror images and when
D
we kiss they're perfectly aligned
GD
And I have to speculate that God himself
CG
did make us into corresponding shapes like
D
puzzle pieces from the clay
GD
True it may seem like a stretch, but
C
its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
GD
head when you're away when I am missing you to death
GD
When you are out there on the road for
C
several weeks of shows, and when you scan
GD
the radio I hope this song will guide you home
Chorus:
GD
They will see us waving from such great
CGD
heights, "come down now" they'll say
GD
but everything looks perfect from far away,
CGD
"come down now", but we'll stay
Verse:
GD
I tried my best to leave this song on your
CG
machine but the persistent beat it sounded
D
thin upon listening
GD
That frankly will not fly. you will hear
C
the shrillest highs and lowest lows with
GD
the windows down when this is guiding you home
Chorus:
GD
They will see us waving from such great
CGD
heights, "come down now" they'll say
GD
but everything looks perfect from far away,
CGD
"come down now", but we'll stay

Iron And Wine is the stage and recording name of folk rock singer-songwriter, Samuel Beam. He has released three studio albums, several EPs and singles, as well as a few download-only releases, which include a live album (a recording of his 2005 Bonnaroo performance). Beam was raised in South Carolina before moving to Florida to attend school, but now resides outside of Austin, Texas. The name Iron And Wine is taken from a dietary supplement named “Beef Iron & Wine” that he found in a general store while shooting a film.[1]
Thumb Position Check. For bar chords, place the thumb lower on the neck for leverage. For open chords, let it sit higher. Small thumb adjustments reduce hand strain and improve clarity immediately.
