Chords
This is my interpretation of the chords of this beautiful Weepies song. This tab contains two
versions. One in standard tuning and one in open D tuning. The standard one works, but I think the
open D one is closer to the way Deb plays it live.

Even though I still think that tab works I decided to upload an alternate version in open D tuning. The song contains 2 basic chord shapes that I will call the major and minor shapes for simplicity. The actual chord names are much more complicated but I feel using them will only make the tab unclear. All chord shapes are relative to capo.
