Patrick Sky - Separation blues (guitar chords)
Stick a capo on the second fret
Sorry I don’t know the exact symbol of some weird chords so here they are :
   G= 320033
G*  = 320030
  G7= 320001
   D= xx0232
  Db= xxx121
D** = xx0235
   E= 022100
   C= 032010
   A= 002220
There’s a very quick riff at some point :
---0---------------------------|
-------3-----------------------|
-----------3------0-----0------|
---------------3-----3-----0---|
-------------------------------|
-------------------------------|
There’s a lot of picking the high strings throughout the whole song (especially 
the * chords), some strumming at other moments, just listen to the song and you’ll figure it out.
