CEDAR TREE (Amy Ray)
--------------------
I'm not going to try to type out the whole song, because the songbook
doesn't have it exactly right, and I can't quite figure it out. If you
really want to learn the whole song, though, the book is probably your
best bet. (It also has the tab for the solo, which I'm not going to type.)
The part I've typed here is just the intro, although the verses follow a
similar pattern. Note that the tuning is open G (DGDGBD).
The fast part with the Irish feel to it is just D and C, with little bits
of G in between. All the chords in that part are full barres. (D=777777,
C=555555, and G=000000.) Right after that, one of the guitars plays "Ode to
Joy" softly; you can figure out the melody to that in about two seconds.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official INDIGO GIRLS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
