~SHappy~T by Brandi Carlile, as tabbed by BoB Mulkern 

Track 5 on the Brandi Carlile CD and written by
Brandi, this is a hauntingly beautiful tune that is
reasonably easy to play. Standard open chords with
single string ~Shammering~T effects are needed, the
chords being , , , ,  and  with the song
actually performed with a capo on the third fret. Some
experience with hammering the low  string on a 
chord,  to  (hammering up) and  to  to open 
(walking down) to land on  is helpful. Also, within
the structure of the  chord, hammering ~Sup~T from  to
 on the A string and ~Swalking down~T from  to  to 
on the  string, is helpful in replicating the tune.
No fancy right hand finger action is needed but the
tune should not be simply strummed either. Rather,
judicious striking of the strings from the lower to
upper range with a pick does the job. Both the  and
the  chords can, most of the time, be gainfully
played more fully, or ~Ssuspensefully~T, by using the
ring finger to hold down a  note on the  string for
both the  and  chords, but alternate this at will
with the standard fingering of  and .  Pregnant
pauses of a beat or two when resolving the choruses
and bridge bring some nice drama to the tune.  The
following tabbing of this tune is of course all my own
work and, despite my best efforts, approximate - so
embellish at will and enjoy  BoB M
