Life Is Good Blues chords by Laura Veirs

Chords with lyrics

Beautiful song from the incredible Laura’s July Flame album.

The chords are easy but this one is very best suited to alternate picking for the
bass notes on the Em, Am7Am7 and C majorC chords.

I've put the picking patterns at the foot of the tab!

Ok. It's in standard tuning, capo 3rd fret.

Chords relative to capo’d position
i.e. Am7Am7 is actually a Cm7, G+G is actually Bb majorBb and so on!
