LOVE AT THE FIVE AND DIME (Nanci Griffith)
------------------------------------------
[Open 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 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 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 vwhwang@midway.uchicago.edu for suggesting this particular
 pattern; it's much easier than what I had before.]
