E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| FOOLS - The Dodos E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Tabbed by:jimmy5150 Tuning:Down one Half a step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb) CAPO ON THE FIFTH FD T Merric uses a lot of alternate and open tunings on this album that are hard to figure by ear, so I am sure this is not 100% accurate but there are no tabs out for this song so I figure I'd my 2 cents out there. In the music video he is using a capo on the 6th fret but in my version it's on the fret, so it's not exactly what he plays but it sounds fine. ALL CHORDS AND RIFFS AD WRITTEN D A TIVE TO THE CAPO ON 5 opening chord (can't really write the exact rhythm, pretty easy to figure out if you to the record) E|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-x--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-1--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-0--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Singing starts "our fathers have been...

It sounds cool fingerpicked but if you are using a pick for the chords above it will still sound fine if you don't hit the bottom string.
