Prisoner Acoustic chords by Ryan Adams

Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 3rd

Ryan Adams - Prisoner (Acoustic)

This is my first tab and I've only been playing for 6 months so these chord names will be atrocious but
this is how I've been playing it and his proformance recorded on the KCRW Show has confirmed this for me.

Standard Tuning - Capo 3

AsusAsus    000230
Asus4Asus4   002230
Asus4/B(?) 020230 (sometimes he hammers on BB as well)
G5(?)   300030 (slides from 2 to 3 on G+G)
Bm/F#(?)  220030 (uses thumb for G+G)
Em7(?)   020030 (lifts thumb off)

If guidance is needed, use the recording found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=482lqzBFS38, hope I
could help, not many tabs being put up for this amazing album.
