Runaway Man chords by The Common Linnets

Chords with lyrics

Capo on 3. Second tab ever, be sure to read the notes at the bottom after you have played along with the song!
You can finger your way through this song, perhaps add in some strumming during the instrumental part. I pick
in a 5 - 2 - 4 - 3 pattern, but I'm no expert and it doesn't exactly sound like what they're doing. Use your
imagination and have fun.

*: I think the Chord diagramC majorC  E/C  Chord diagramA minorAm sounds good or perhaps even better but who am I. Certainly not a virtuoso.
**: Not sure what they sing there..
Let me know what you think of this tab. I did it all by ear and my ears aren't tuned in on guitar chords as much
as the really skilled guitar players out there. If you think this tab needs some change be sure to post it so we
can all enjoy Ilse de Lange and her Common Linnets the way any guitar player would want to!

JA MAN, GAAF MAN!
