LOVE AT THE FIVE AND DIME (Nanci Griffith)
------------------------------------------
[Open 
G+G tuning (DGDGBD). Capo 3.]
[For the intro and verses, see the tab at the end. For the chorus, I'm not
sure exactly how to finger the chords. I think it might be like this:
G=000000, Am7=x22012, Am7(4)=x20012.]

TAB:
[Don't forget to tune your guitar to open G.]
[The 0 on the high 
D MajorD string at the end of the sixth measure is optional;
sometimes she plays it, sometimes she doesn't.]
[The 12's on the high D MajorD string are probably harmonics; if you can play
them that way, do it, but it sounds okay to fret them too.]
[This is for the intro; in the verse, I think it's not quite the same,
but very similar.]
[Thanks to [email protected] for suggesting this particular
pattern; it's much easier than what I had before.]
