How Could I Know/Oxen

[tomEisenbraun]

ok, I got Oxen figured out
 
its in CGCGCe tuning

I hope you have a chromatic tuner. If not, start by raising the B string up to a C by fretting the 5h fret of the G string and raising the note on the B string until it becomes even with that pitch.

Then lower the D string a whole step by using the 7th fret to make it match up with the G string. The A string drops a step, and stays in the 5th fret interval from the above C string. And low E gets dropped to C by using the 7th fret interval method.

Hope I didn't confuse you more....now onto the song!
 Ê Ê
C- 000000
Fsus- 555000
Gsus- 777000
F-555555
G-777777
 
intro is C C Fsus Gsus
(not counted in full bars, but in symmetricitiousness. therefore, you play twice as much C chord as the the others individually. if youve heard it, its easy. One thing to remember, at the end of it, make sure you strum the top strings. Lay off of em for most of strumming, but hit them at the end of the bar for accent)
 
wanted to see your holy vow
