THE DRESS LOOKS NICE ON YOU - Sufjan Stevens
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Adam B.
Tuning: Standard, Capo 8th
This is my first tab, so here goes... This is a more in depth tab that I based off
drewbix's. It's quite a bit more accurate, and I'm almost positive everything is
right.
Intro / Verses 1, 2, & 4 / Outro:
e|----------------------------(0)-------(0)--------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------3----------3--------------------|
G|---------0------------0---------0----------0--------0--------------|
D|-----2-------0--0h2------2-----------------------------------------|
A|--0--------------------------3---------2---------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------3-----------------|
(Play parentheses indicated notes in BREAK & OUTRO sections only)
Verse 3 (when banjo enters):
e|--------------------------------0---------0------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------3---------3-----3---------------|
G|-------------0------------------------0---------0-----0------------|
D|--------0h2------0--0h2--2p0---------------------------------------|
A|--0h2---------------------------3---------2------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------3---------------|
This part's real tricky if you want to play it by yourself. There are
two guitars on Seven Swans. It is possible to play them together, so I
put them both on the same staff, but the individual guitars are marked
to the right. Guitar 1 plays all eighth notes, and guitar 2 plays the
melody.
Instrumental Break (with keyboard):

I can see a lot of life in you.
I can see a lot of bright in you.
And I think the dress looks nice on you.
I can see a lot of life in you.
I can see a bed and make it too.
I can see a fireside turn blue.
And I can see the lot of life in you.
Yes, I can see a lot of life in you.
When the world looks back,
when the face looks after that,
I can see a lot of life in you.
Yes, I can see a lot of life in you.
I can see a lot of life in you.
I can see your bed and make it too.
And I think the dress looks nice on you.
Yes, I can see a lot of life in you.
I can see a lot of life in you.
Yes, I can see a lot of life in you
