The Blade Chords

Song: The blade Artist: Ashley Monroe Composers: Marc Beeson, Jamie Floyd & Allen Shamblin Album: The blade Tabbed by DJ 12st Oct 2015 This is mostly a piano piece, and Ashley's rhythm guitarist plays along in E with a capo at the 2nd fret, sticking to pretty basic chords. I've adapted it for a more interesting acoustic guitar accompaniment with a few more extended chords like the sus4's and (#11)'s that are suggested by the melody and keyboards. CAPO: 4th fret (Sounds in the key of F#) Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo: D = xx0232 A4 = x02230 D4 = xx0233 A7 = x02020 G = 320003 Bm = x24432 Gadd#11 = 3x0023 D/C# = x40232 A = x02220 Dsus2 = xx0230
