Fragile Flame
by Jewel Kilcher
Tabbed by Jeff Kokosinski
Open Db or D tuning DADF#Ad or for open Db DbAbDbFAbDb
the opening and verse progressions are pretty simple. You are moving only on
the fth string the rest is open.

F--------0----0------0----0------0----0------0----0--------------------

this is also for the intro and verses until
"he feels little inside and" is barre chord 5th fret appreggio string #'s
3,4,5,6,5,4,3 2X's
Then slide this up to the 7th fret barre chord :777777 for "filled with pride
oh fragile"
then back to 5th barre :555555 strings #'2 1,2,3,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,3,2 repeat
then open same pattern :000000
that's it for the verse and for the chorus
BRIDGE
similar picking style to the intro/verse part still using that 5th string now
alternating between 4th and 2nd frets
(4)hush (2)sleep don't (4)think just (2) eat (4)you're daddy's little
(2)boy

then "loves you" back to 5th barre :555555 3,4,5,6,5,4,3,4,5,6,5,4,3,
"holds you" same with 7th barre
3rd verse follows then chorus to "Oh Fragile Flame" which is 5th barre with
1,2,3,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,3,2 pattern to open :000000 same pattern
ends on hamonic 12 or 5 (I prefer 5)
