Porcelain Better Than Ezra

Subject: CRD: Porcelain by Better than Ezra
PORCELAIN by BETTER THAN EZRA
off the album DELUXE
transcription by Scott Josselyn (sjosselyn@aol.com)
This song is pretty easy once you get the hang of the rhythm and
flourishes. In addition to the flourishes that I've tried to notate,
they sometimes use Cadd4 as a passing chord in the G/B-C-F/A passages
between the C and F/A chords. I don't hear it in the song but I also
like to throw a Fmaj7/A into the F/A vamps sometimes. There is also
some bass hammer-on played over the F/A chord soemtimes that I couldn't
figure out.
CAPO 1ST FRET !!!
