                             BECAUSE I'M A BOY ACOUSTIC - Mac Demarco (Makeout Videotape)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Jonathan Hawkins
E-mail: n/a

Tuning: D A D F♯ A d (open D)


This tab is based off of Mac's acoustic performance in this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOACZCsTZak -
video. The studio version of this song can be played with a capo on the second fret.


I do not know chord shapes and names in non-standard tunings, which is why I have assigned each of the 5 chords
used in this song a name based on their lowest ~non-open~ note. Luckily this song is very simple, so memorizing
these chords and their sequence should be easily manageable.

Palm mute liberally.
