Lullaby by Matt Costa (from the Elasmosaurus EP and the Curious George Soundtrack )
Tabbed by Darrin Roberts
I don't know the finger picking, and there is room for correction here,
but this sounds good so far, although I'm a little unsure of the end.
edit: I (Darrin) realized after watching that Matt plays it with capo on 1 and a C F Bb G thing...
I can transpose but I'm sure after you post that someone will point out mine is a transpose of what he actually plays...
Standard tuning, Capo on the fourth fret. Chords relative to capo....
