Chords with lyrics
Altar Boy

Rickie Lee Jones
(from Naked Songs, 1995)

I like the simplistic arrangement of this live version. It has a kind of
haunting effect. The plucking is quite simple. Most of the time you hit
two different bass notes for a pair of consecutive chords.
I've included below, in square brackets, which string to hit as bass.
For example, Am[5] means hitting the 5th string as the bass for that
3-beat measure.
