Capo: 2

Artist: The Decemberists Song: Shiny Album: 5 Songs [EP] Tuning: Standard EADGBe Notes: Capo on 2nd Fret This is a fairly easy song to play, but uses some rather uncommon chords, complete with long and weird names. My advise would be to not be thrown by the odd chords, but just to learn the shapes of them, where they fit into the song and keep at it :) Here are all the chords used in the song:
