The Hard Way

Mary Chapin Carpenter

Tom original: Am Capotraste: Sem capotraste Acordes: 17
Am
(These are the chords for the acoustic (rhythm) guitar; capo at the 2nd
 fret.  The electric guitars play it in D with no capo.  Frankly, either way
 is pretty easy, but I wrote the chords down for the acoustic.  The tab at
 the end is for the electrics.)
(It sounds okay to play E7 instead of G#dim7.)
(I play C5 as x3x013 and G#dim7 as xx0101 or x20101.)
(Each chord is half a measure.)

Intro

(The high notes are played by one electric guitar, the low notes by another;
no capo on the electrics.)
