lullaby in 3/4

lullaby in 3/4

As transcribed by Carolyn...

This is an extremely rough version of Erin McKeown's "Lullaby in 3/4." I have the tuning set in standard, but if you listen to her talking in the beginning of the song, she's tuning her D string up to an E. Of course, I realized this once I tabbed the entire song out. It's not too difficult in standard tuning. This is meant as a guide only - it's by no means polished. The solo needs a lot of work, especially the second half. Erin throws in a lot of variations in general, which makes it hard to tab. But feel free to add where it's needed. Enjoy!
