Family Tree by Sivu
Family Tree
This is how I play it though I think Sivu plays his guitar a 1/2 step tuned down capo 8
but who really feels like tuning down their guitar?
*Capo 8 or whatever suits your fancy*

Em
Across tightropes and stones
C
I found God as he speaks in tongues
Em
For the whole world to see
C
He found our cure but then lost the key
Em
At least the damage is done,
C
And now we wait to be swallowed by the sun

I'm begging you please to reconsider,

version 3
CAPO ON 6
All chords in relation to capo
E A D G B e
Fadd2 1 0 3 2 1 3
Gadd4 3 2 0 0 1 3
Am7 x 0 2 2 1 3
Em 0 2 2 0 0 3
I really felt some of the other tabs didn't quite capture the subtle bass and treble notes so I made this.
Playing Fadd2 and Gadd4 instead of just F and G give you that deep bass note you hear every so often in the song
and having your finger on the high e gives that nice ringing high, but F and G sound ok. Same goes for the Em.
The timing on the bridge is a bit odd but practise makes perfect.
