*Capo 1st Fret*
*All chords are relative to capo but all tab is relative
to nut (i.e. a «1» in tab is an «open» string)
Chords: G=320033 D/F#=200232 Em=0220(3)0 Cadd9=x32033
G/B=x20033 A7sus4=x02233 or 540055
A#6=650066 or x03366*
Cadd9(use this type to follow A#6)=870088 or xx5588*
*Guitar 2(Todd) plays arpeggios of these chords while Glenn
strums the rhythm with the first type
