Candy came from out on the island

In the backroom she was everybody's darling

But she never lost her head

Even when she was giving head

Said hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls go

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets

Looking for soul food and a place to eat

All right... huh

Nice. I was playing a little and found another option to include the higher e-string in the play. First I play C in Barre:



1e - 3

2b - 5

3g - 5

4d - 5

5a - 3

6e - 3



Don't know what the 2nd accord is named like, but it is:



1e - 5

2b - 3

3g - 5

4d - 3

5a - 3

6e - 3



(So also in barre) or maybe nice to switch between both methods.



Futher I don't really like the D in there, I just take C F C F two times there. (normal C with G in bass) and F-barre)
