Words and Music
by Raccoon
as recorded at the 2002 Rainbow Gathering in
Michigan
The
chord progressions to this song are:
·
C, (CaddG), F, (FaddG) –
the G note is on the 3rd fret of the high-E string
·
G, B7, C, D*, G, B7, E, B7
Note: This D is done by doing an open C chord and
then moving it up two frets which is sort of a D chord with open G and open
high E string notes. I guess this would make the chord technically a Dsus4add9
(the sus4 is the G note and the add9 is the E note).
