Lipstick Sunset chords by John Hiatt
Guitar chords with lyrics
The acoustic guitar here is in dropped-D tuning (DADGBE). NB A tip for playing it - the top E string is mostly avoided apart from the motif that connects the verses, which goes something like: -----3---5---2- -----3---5---3- --/4--/6------- -----------0--- --------------- --------------- I had a go at tabbing the slide part, but I quickly realised I haven't a clue about playing slide (which doesn't help when you're trying to transcibe Ry Cooder!). Does anybody else want to try?- if it's any help, I'd be reasonably certain that it's in either open D or open E tuning. Corrections and comments welcome, as always...
