This has been the most beautiful Alison cover I've seen here. As melancholy as the song, I thought I was listening to Slowdive for a moment.

[@Joseph_Gambardella]

Thank you very much Katherine!

[@Lawrenceofarabia195]

I agree!

[@allyhesford8749]

I feel like I am standing in the middle of a heavy storm, but not getting rained on. The sky somehow clear and stars twinkling, as if trying to communicate the lyrics in morse code. I adore this. Thank you for blessing my ears.

[@Joseph_Gambardella]

Thank you for this blessed comment!

[@blackjono2000]

If you want to play just on acoustic. Try tuning to e a d f# b c#. The play a major open chord 2nd fret, to b7.
I feel this nails the dreamy/droney vibe perfectly. The rest is easy to figure out

[@jonansestao4982]

Thanks

[@Joseph_Gambardella]

Ok I will. Thanks.

[@LydiaGuerrero-vi8gg]

so beautiful

[@popo_90913]

beautiful, this song is my adolescence.

[@Joseph_Gambardella]

thank you!

[@Edward_Waterfield]

I have so far probably listened more times to this cover than to the original.

[@Joseph_Gambardella]

Thank you so much!

[@kadiroztuurrk]

Listen close and don't be stoned
I'll be here in the morning
'Cause I'm just floating
Your cigarette still burns
Your messed up world will thrill me
Alison, I'm lost
Alison, I said, "We're sinking"
There's nothing here, but that's okay
Outside your room, your sister's spinning
But she laughs, tells me she's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere
And the sailors, they strike poses
TV covered walls, and so slowly
With your talking and your pills
Your messed up life still thrills me
Alison, I'm lost
Alison, I'll drink your wine
And wear your clothes when we're both high
"Alison", I said, "We're sinking"
But she laughs and tells me it's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere

[@Joebyron72]

I‘ve been coming back to this cover every few months for years now. It’s incredible, and easily one of my favorite covers ever. Is this entirely in EADGBE tuning?

[@Joseph_Gambardella]

Thank you so much! Standard tuning.

[@VideogametimereviewsBlogspot]

I've been trying to figure out this song over the past few days, and the power of the internet brought me here. Absolutely beautiful man!
The sounds you're getting from the Epiphone are smashing! Are you using standard tuning in that part?

[@Joseph_Gambardella]

Yeah standard tuning for both guitars. Thanks!
