Music and Lyrics by Patty Griffin
from the "Living With Ghosts" album
Chords transcribed by David Lewis
(dlewis@accesscable.net)
*note* I did a transcription about
two months ago that was accurate in
terms of which notes to play but was
way off in terms of how Patty actually
plays those notes. My original transcription
was played in the key of D by
using an open D tuning and no capo.
This transcription is played in the key
of D by using standard tuning, mostly
G chord shapes (which actually sound
as D chord of course) and a capo on
the 7th fret. This new version is just
done from memory. I haven't double
checked it with the recording so it may
not be 100% accurate... but who wants
to be 100% accurate anyway :) The
benefit of this version is that it
is much easier to play since it uses
standard chord shapes in the first
position rather than fingerstyle type
stuff way up the neck.
Standard tuning. Capo the 7th fret.
