Capo: 3
I play it with capo 3 instead, which have the following chord translations:
D# = C
Cm = Am
G# = F
A# = G
This also allows me to do the picking instead if I want it to sound like the original
instead of just chords. Using open chords on capo 3, I just pick A and D strings back and
forth for the C and the Am and the E and A strings for the F (barred) and G.
Something like this:
D|---5---5---5---5---5--|
A|-6---6---6---6---6----|
E|----------------------| ...continue until chord change
D|---5---5---5---5---5--|
A|-3---3---3---3---3----|
E|----------------------| ...continue
D|----------------------|
A|---6---6---6---6---6--|
E|-4---4---4---4---4----| ...continue
D|----------------------|
E|---5---5---5---5---5--|
E|-6---6---6---6---6----| ...continue
I did this fast, so please let me know if I typed it up wrong. And sorry for the lack
of apostrophes--UG does not like them.

The Precipice by The Classic Crime
From Phoenix
----------------------------------
Verse 1:
D#I wish I could play the violin
Id pCmlay til tears rolled down your cheek and chin
And G#if you sang along
A#We could write the saddest D#song
Verse 2:
D#Sometimes I indulge my every whim
And Cmpiece-by-piece I build the cell Im in
But I G#only stay here long
enA#ough to write the saddest D#song
Chorus:
I dreamt I Cmstood on a hill that I D#wished was a mountain
To Cmlook back on all my accomplishD#ments
Well they Cmmust have been small because I D#couldnt seem to find them
so I G#took a leap off A#of the precipD#ice
Verse 3:
D#I wish I could play piano well
Id Cmhit the keys that make your spirit swell
And G#if you sang along
A#We could write the saddest D#song
*Repeat Chorus*
Bridge:
D#Whatever the cost
Whether it works out or not
CmWhatever the cost
Whether it works out or not
G#Ill follow you
Ill follow yA#ou with my hD#eart
*Repeat Bridge*
*Chorus is repeated here a cappella. I like to do one strum per chord here instead.*
