-------------------------------

OK.  Here's another Keb' Mo' tune that's easy.  His secret is the open

tuning.  In this case, open Bb.  This is how he gets those nice harmonics
while stilling keeping rhythm.  Or he could be good enough to be able to
pluck them w/ two fingers while still playing w/ his thumb. I know, weird

tuning, but hey!, it's a great song to impress chicks w/.  I don't use open
Bb majorBb because, unlike Keb' Mo', I am merely a poor college student w/ only one
guitar.  Therefore, it is much too difficult to tune for just one song.  So
for me, this song is played capoed at the third fret.

Chords:

(open)          (w/ capo)
  Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb   FF      Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb   FF

Verse:

Bb majorBb
Lulaby...
Eb MajorEb               Bb majorBb
Time...
FF      Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
Hug...
FF      Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
Lay...


Chorus:  F-Eb-Bb

On the last chorus, he plays the Eb MajorEb a little longer

This entire song is played w/ an alternating bass pattern.  I think!

Meaning, in the case of the Bb, in standard tuning, you would keep a quater

note pulse going, alternating between Bb majorBb and FF or D MajorD w/ your thumb.
