Song: Cruel to be kind
Tabbed by: DJ
26th Feb 2013
Tuning:Standard
C = x32010 Em = 022000 Dm = xx0231
G/B = x20003 F = 133211 Am = x02210
F/A = x02210 G7sus4 = 353533 A = x02220
G = 355433 G7 = 353433 Dm7/G = 300211
(In the suggested coda you could just play a G chord
instead of Dm7/G, but I think it sounds more interesting)
