This is Johnny Mitchell's A Case of You.
Mine's tuned down half a step, but the frets are
the same, so it doesn't matter how your guitar is tuned.
And you want to put your pointer
finger on the fifth string's third fret, and then whatever finger you feel comfortable
with, I like using my pinky on the fifth fret, [B] second string.
So pluck those two strings
the whole time.
So the first is third and fifth,
[E] up to eight and ten, twelve and thirteenth,
[Abm]
[Gb] ten and twelve, [Abm]
[E] eight and ten, [B] so again it's third [E] and fifth, eight and ten, twelve and
[Gb] thirteenth, ten and [E] twelve, eight and ten,
[Ebm] seventh and eight,
[Dbm] fifth and sixth, [B]
third
and fifth, [Bbm] second and third, [Abm] [Db] then for this one it's just your pointer finger on second
string of the first [Abm] fret.
It's really like an A [F] minor chord, but it's just this [Abm] finger,
[Gb]
and nothing on the [Abm] second string.
[Gb] And then you hit the sixth string on this one.
[Abm]
[Bbm] So [Abm]
[E]
[Gb] [E]
[Ebm]
[Dbm] [Abm]
[Bbm] [Abm]
[Gb] [Abm]
[Bbm]
[E] the
you don't have to feel too [Abm] embarrassed when you try to sing it.
Just before [Bbm] my love had left her [Abm] side, I am as constant as a northern star [Dbm] I see.
Then for this part you slide up to the fifth and sixth.
Constantly [B] in the dark, I'll [Bbm] be in the park [Abm] around [Gb] the TV star.
And [B]
[Bbm] then
[Abm]
[Dbm] [B]
[Bbm] And [Abm]
[Ab]
[Dbm] then
[B] I say sketched [Db] on it [Abm] twice
You know, those are basically the chords of the whole song, so as long as you mess around with that, you can sing it.
