Alyda chords by Yo La Tengo

Yo La Tengo - Alyda
President Yo La Tengo (1989)

Standard tuning, no capo

Only play the Dm7 for one stroke. I just move my ring finger (on the 2nd string) off the neck while my pointer
finger is on the first fret of both the 2nd and 1st strings.

Do you dream of something better
Bb       F                C    Dm    F   Dm Dm7 Dm
