Be Careful - Patty Griffin

Tuning: Standard
Capo: 2
Notes: Pretty simple song - but a couple notes here:
I have given two versions for the C chord, as I thought
it best to use different arrangements for different parts of the song.
For the D chord, I use my thumb for the low F#. If this is too difficult, just skip the thumb part.
When playing Cv1, hammer-on the E on the fourth string.
Also hammer-on this note when playing the Cv2 in the last line of the chorus.

G: 3 2 0 0 3 3

Cv1: x 3 2 0 1 3
Cv2: 3 3 2 0 1 0
