Artist: Felt Song: The World Is As Soft As Lace [http://www.indieguitartabs.com/bands/felt/the_world_is_as_soft_as_lace.html] Tabbed by: Kent V Note: Certainly not 100% accurate, particularly the chorus. Arpeggiating over G D Em chords works, imho. G is a barre C chord at the 7th fret, D is a barre E chord at the 10th fret and Em is a barre Am chord at the 7th fret. Use either option A or option B, one stays at the 12th fret but makes the jump down to the nut slower, the second puts you down there earlier but may be harder to play fast enough. Good luck.
