Subject: CRD : 10,000 Maniacs, "Verdi Cries" A word of explanation is in order: this was the first song I sounded out when I learned to play the guitar two and a half years ago. Sometime after that, I came across a version of the song in a songbook, which was significantly different, but by that time I was so used to my version that the songbook one sounded wrong. The songbook version uses only four chords for most of the song--Eb, Bb, Cm and Ab, which turn into G, D, Em and C in this (guitaretab.com)
