great song from "Sister Lovers". this song is probably easier to fingerpick. it's a
more than straight chords at work here. this is going to be messy but so am i.
throughout the verse you're going to play a G Am7 progression which goes like this.
to the recording for the exact rhythm.
-G--3----Am73--| throw in a little strumming at the end of each interval.
---0----1--|
---0----0--| voice the G with your ring on the the low E and pinky on the
------0h2--| high E.

-3---------|

Intro
G//Am7////G//Am7////Gmaj7////////////////
iGmaj7--2-- play around on the high E. move it up to 3 once or twice.
m--3--
x--0-- i'm not sure if this chord is right, but it sounds close enough.

Verse
At GnighAm7time I go out and Gsee the Am7people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way

The chorus has a fingerpicking pattern. i don't know exactly how alex plays, so i won't
it. you can come up with something yourself. Dsus4 is D with your pinky on 3 on the E
and Cmaj7 is C with an open B string.

Chorus
And Ddressing so Dsus4sweet, all the Cpeople to see
They're Dlooking at me, all the Cpeople to see. Cmaj7
