Tuning: E A D G B E

Shakey Graves - Wild Card This version I have taken from the 'Stetson presents' live performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr12xsfDVMw [Chords] (All chords are barre chords except the G/F#) Ebm x68876 Em x79987 C 8 10 10 9 8 8 G 355433 D7 x57575 C7 x35353 Cm7 x35343 Bm x24432 Cm x35543 G/F# 2x0003 Shakey picks it with a plectrum with strumming for certain sections (which I will outline) and he throws the odd strum in with the picking for varaition/ accentuation etc. I have been satisfied mostly fingerpicking using a P I P M P I pattern. So I pick the verse as follows: Em e|----------------| B|--------8-------| G|--9----------9--| D|-----9----------| A|7----------7----| E|----------------| C e|----------------| B|--------9-------| G|--10------------| D|-----10---------| A|--------------10| E|8----------8----| G e|----------------| B|--------3-------| G|--4-----------4-| D|-----5----------| A|----------------| E|3-----------3---| D7 e|----------------| B|--------7-------| G|--5-----------5-| D|-----7----------| A|5-----------5---| E|----------------| C7 is strummed once at the "Yeah but you emptied my pockets". Bm section is strummed throughout and picking resumes on the Em. The G just before the Bm ("you were wild but you were dealt to me" line) is strummed in both instances. [Intro]
