It's my first submission here, feedback is always appreciated!
I noticed that the one existing tab for this song uses some awkward chords, so
I thought I'd post how I play. It feels more natural (to me) to use a capo and
open chords, especially since this is a pretty common feature to all other RAA
songs. Enjoy!
Tuning: Standard, Capo 4, All chords relative to capo
Chords Used:
Am Em F C G
E |----0---0---1---0---3---|
B |----1---0---1---1---0---|
G |----2---0---2---0---0---|
D |----2---2---3---2---0---|
A |----0---2---3---3---2---|
E |----x---0---1---x---3---|
Rhythm is pretty basic, stays the same throughout, listen to the song and you
should get it.
