Anyone out there got tabs for Ed's acoustic 'lullaby' version of Betterman from his solo Chicago show and most recently Bridge School I 2010?

    I asked about tabs after Ed played it in Chicago but I never got any replies, I figured I would give it another go after they played it again at Bridge School.

    i'm not a guitarists arsehole really and what i come up with isn't what it really would be but i've got somethings i'm playing with which i'll try and post...i don't know anything about tuning or anything so it's all standard tuning on normal guitar

    Just put a capo on the third fret and you've pretty much got it. The versus are picked a little different, but the chorus is very similar. Hope this helps.

    Yeah it's the same chords throughout the song, but Ed fingerpicks the whole thing and plays it on his mini Martin in Nashville tuning, as stated above. I've played it with a capo on 4 and it sounds pretty reasonable.
