Amy Hit the Atmosphere
Counting Crows
*** Capo on 1 ***
The previous version was close, but some of the chords sounded weird and he
missed a couple of key spots. I think I've figure them out, and tranposed
this into a set of chords that work really nice -- many pair above, below
each other on same frets and make intuitive slides in the progression. These
chords appear to have F basses often, example B/F anc C/F. Well, this is
much easier with capo as A/E and B/E (just leave top E open).
(Updated: I corrected the intro and outro, which are not the same as the
verse chords as suggested. I also realized the timing was off, and that is
now reflected correctly.)
Great song, one of my CC favorites. Take it nice and mellow.
