Date: Mon, 11 May 1998 21:57:01 EDT From: TerryADay <TerryADay@aol.com> Subject: g/griffith/cradle_of_the_interstate.crd ============================================================ "Cradle of the Interstate" by Nanci Griffith from the Movie Soundtrack, "Falling from Grace" Starring John Cougar Mellancamp and Mariel Hemingway Producers: John Cougar Mellencamp, Mike Wanchic Recorded at Belmont Mall Studio, Belmont, Indiana. Label: Mercury, Released: Feb 18, 1992 Chart by Terry Day: e-mail: TerryADay@aol.com ============================================================ This song is relatively easy to play, even if you aren't a seasoned finger- picker, as, for the most-part, there are no real intricate finger-picking patterns. Simply pick the bass string and then the 321 or 421, whatever you like. It's actually more complicated, but it'll still sound good. (The bridge is strummed down only.) If you need help, or you hear something I didn't, please e-mail me at: TerryADay@aol.com. ============================================================ Capo Third Fret, preferably on a 12-string acoustic Chords: G 320033 Cmaj7 032000 Fmaj7 003210 C/G 032013 D 000232 Bm 224432 C 032013 Intro: G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G
