  • capo 2nd fret
    all chords relative to capo
    / = down strum
  • \ = up strum
    o = all strings open (if preceding Dsus2, then strings 1-4 open,
    if preceding A, then strings 1-5 open, if preceding G, then 1-6
  • open)
     
    note: The last line "the friends he'd made" is a typical Andersonian
  • chord-morph. You should play with the fingering until you find
    a combination which moves the fewest fingers at one time. Anderson
    likes to keep one finger planted and change the chords around it. In
  • this case, I think he does the following. He plants the 3rd finger of
    the left hand as he changes from Dm to A7sus4. Am to C, he plants the
    1st finger. C to Cadd9 he lifts the 3rd and places 2nd on the 6th
  • string, keeping the 1st and 4th fingers planted.
