| "In a tin cup" |
| REPEAT UNTIL FADE |
| * These 'D(A)' chords are best played like an 'appended' A chord. |
| For instance, first finger barring the B, G & D strings (2nd fret), |
| with second finger on B string (3rd fret), and 3rd finger on |
| D string (4th fret). |
| It's also worth noting with this song that there are a lot of |
| minor 7ths implied by the piano and guitars. (For instance, |
| D notes against E chords; G notes against A chords). This |
| is better 'felt' and improvised than written down. |
| See ya! |
