The Drowners
Intro: A (5fr) | D (5fr) | C (3fr) | E
The E is picked out approximately;e----------------------------0---------- -------------------------------0------- ---------------------1----------------- -----2------------------2-------------- --------2--0--------------2------------E ---0--------------0-------------------
Chorus (pick the chords):
G (3fr) | B (2fr) | C (3fr) | D (5fr)
for the last C chord bend the middle three strings up one semitone.
Note that when playing the chords don't stick exactly to a rigid shape. Eg for Ce--------------------------- ---------------------------
---------------5-p5-------- etc. ----------3-h5------------- ----3-h5-------------------E --------------------------
This is very approximate and I can't for the life of me
remember now how the break goes. Just remember that if you
tune down then the chords for a song like Moving are just
standard shapes with an extra note or two picked out for
interest.
