Chords

Capo VI This is a really simple song to play, the first off Anais' album "Young Man in America". It only uses two chords throughout: Asus2 (002200), and a version of Cmaj7 (332000). Anais plays the first chord with her second and third fingers, so when the chord changes the fourth and fifth fingers move up easily to the top two strings. Listen to the song for the rhythm and strumming.

This song moves beautifully straight into the second song off the album, the title track "Young Man in America". Still trying to figure out the tabs for the whole song, so it will hopefully follow. Hope this is accurate and you enjoy :)
