Chords
From the album Monterey
This is a tab I made by listening to the song. It's by no means perfect but it's far better than the other
chords currently available on this website.
Listen to the original recording for all the particular embellishments, I've included a few but there's more
that I found hard to pick out with the singing overpowering the guitar's sound.
In the recording, the guitar is tuned down a semitone, to D#-A#-F#-C#-G#-D#.
Note that the chords listed are relative to the tuning, and are not strictly correct. So what is listed as Em
is actually D#m, but is listed as Em because it is the Em shape, and because I mistyped it and it's more work
than I can be bothered to do to correct all of them.
