If I Prove False chords by Cara Dillon

Chords with lyrics

From Cara's "The Redcastle Session" DVD.

This is a duet with the awesome John Smith, a stunning arrangement of a Carter Family
song 'Storms On The Ocean'.

John plays in an alternate tuning on the DVD (DADGAD, I think!) but I have attempted
this in standard tuning.

To play in the same key as Cara and John, slip your capo on at the 2nd fret.

The chord names are relative to capo, so play D MajorD as xx0232, but it's actually an E!
