(ending instrumental played with verse chords) you may notice my deliberate use of Dsus4Dsus4 chords and i justify that by telling you that if you listen to the album closely, it has such a feel for a Dsus4Dsus4 chord. for poor people who cannot afford capoes, i can sympathize, so i will decode each chord into their correct names and their correct fingering, but having a capo makes it so much easier. (the cheapest capo costs only two dollars or maybe less). anyway: E MajorE a D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE ----------- Capoed FF = A augmentedA 5 7 7 6 5 5 Capoed Am=C#m x 4 6 6 5 4 Capoed E MajorE = G#G# 4 6 6 5 4 4 Capoed C majorC = E MajorE x 7 9 9 9 x Capoed D MajorD = F#F# x x 4 6 7 6 Capoed Dsus4=F#sus4 x x 4 6 7 7
