Poor Man's House
Music and Lyrics by Patty Griffin
from the "Living With Ghosts" album
Chords transcribed by Scott Antall ([email protected])
(with the help of my guitar instructor!!)

Tuning: "Dropped D" - This is easy - just tune the bass E MajorE string down one
whole step. (This way, when you play the D MajorD chord, you can strum all the
strings.)

DADGBE - Capo at first fret

D MajorD (000232)  D* (000235 to 0000232)  A augmentedA (002220)  G+G (X20033)
D* Explanation - start with (000235) then bring the pinkie down one fret
each time (000234, 000233) until you get to a regular D MajorD (000232). Make
sense? Listen to the album for more detail.
