Mothers Pride Chords by George Michael

This is a much easier version  the only tough chord is B, and I typically play it in the 
position, muting the top string (too tinny).

To match George Michael's studio version, tune your guitar down a half note.

Gsus4:
E |---|---|-4-|--------|
B |---|---|-3-|--------|
G 0---|---|---|--------|
D 0---|---|---|--------|
A |---|---|-1-|--------|  (make sure you hear this C note)
E |---|---|-2-|    ----|
