Guitar chords with lyrics

?Ship Go Down? - David Dunn (acoustic)
tabbed by J.R. Bradford

Tuning: Standard | Capo: 4th fret <------- IMPORTANT!!!

Important Note: The "x's" in the picking pattern for the intro are where David strums the muted A string to
keep tempo, so every "x" is just a down beat on the muted A string (optional)

Another Important Note: I've also put the chords above the intro if you'd rather play those than pick through
the intro. The chords and the picking pattern are interchangeable throughout each and every verse in
this song, as well as any interlude/instrumental and the ending.

One More Important Note: The D/F# in the bridge is a quickly-played transition chord, and David plays it a
little differently, so I've charted the chord below.

       D/F#
e |---|---|-4-|
B |---|---|-3-|   1 = Index Finger
G |---|---|---|   x = Rest Index Finger on A String to Mute
D |---|---|---|   3 = Ring Finger
A |---|-x-|---|   4 = Pinky Finger
E |---|-1-|---|
