Primrose by Mary Spender Primrose Tuning: E A D G B E Key: G There are tow Chords (A and B) that don't usually appear in the Key of G, but they actually work with the song and give it Character.

The new recorded version is mostly the same, up until the guitar solo. Mary Spender's style of guitar playing includes a sort of rythmic slap on the low E string, adding some bass and percussion, that continues throughout the whole song. That groove is key to the song :) Whenever there is a note on the low E, Mary plays it with her thumb curled around the freboard(see video). I didn't really tab out the exact fingerpicking/slap thing but if you listen to the song or watch her play it you can figure it out.
