Artist: Lloyd Cole
Song: Forest fire
Tabbed by: DJ
20th April 2013

Tuning: Standard
CAPO: 2nd fret (Sounds in key of A)

This chord transcription is intended for an acoustic guitar accompaniment
for a singer. Instead of the long lead guitar solo coda, I just repeat the
last line of the final verse.

For those who want it, the lead solo follows the progression of the
first verse repeated twice, and then just repeats the Am7 - Cmaj7 - G - G.

Chord shapes relative to capo position:
G (320003@1)   =  320033    Gmaj7= (xx5432@1) 3x0032    C (x32010@1)= x32010
Bm (x24432@1)  =  x24432    Am7 (x02010@1) =  x02010
Cadd9 =  x32010    Am    =  x02210
