 Iron & Wine - Lion's Mane
 Mapped by: C. MacInnis
 
 This is my first Iron & Wine tab, and I am proud to submit this correct version of the
 beautiful opening track from "The Creek Drank the Cradle".
 
 I wish I could say that I was entirely responsible for this tab and how correct it is,
 but I am deeply indebted to "aarvid" and the other fine folks over at
 have a forum of great contributors who originally posted a barebones draft of this tab.
 I have added the lyrics and mapped how the riffs fit into the structure of the song. You
 should be able to pick up on it rather quickly with a bit of practice.
 
 Support Samuel Beam. See Iron & Wine in concert and purchase his CDs. Truly a gem of a musician.
 
 Enjoy!
