capo on the 7th fret. Since the song is in B, that would
mean she's playing in E, and the verse chords are B E A A. She's clearly
using a very strange tuning, because I can't for the life of me figure out
how she's getting those chords out of the positions she uses. Any ideas?]
[I'm going to write these chords down in the key of G, since I know that's
where John Jennings plays them, with a capo on the 4th fret.]
