On The Face Of It

'On the Face of it' 
E|-------------------| 

by The Evens from their 2005 self titled album.
Tabbed by James Glover (Sebadonut).

Ian MacKaye plays a Baritone guitar on this song but I have transcribed it so that it can be 
played
along with a regular guitar in standard tuning - as such I'm not using the harmonics which can
be heard on the recording.
