Casanova, Baby! The Gaslight Anthem
So here's a acoustic version of The Gaslight Anthem's 'Casanova, Baby!'
Capo on 3rd fr.
The main chord pattern in this song is G Em7 D (without capo it is Bb Gm7 F, but I
to play it with a capo because it is easier and sounds better)
I would recommend to play the chords like this:
G (320033)
Em7 (022033)
Em (022000)
Dsus4 (xx0233)
Cadd9 (032033)
However, you can also play the "standard chords" but I guess it sounds better with this
have fun and enjoy. feel free to comment and/ or correct.
