Crocodile Tears - The Stanfields


What an awesome song! It's by the Stanfields - one of the best new bands to come out of
Scotia in a while. You can get this song - and other songs - on their website for 
free: http://thestanfields.ca/


Capo on 3rd fret


The Celtic sound on the D chord comes from playing the G string open and hammering your
finger down to start the chord.

e|-2---2-----2-2-2-2---------|
B|-3---3-----3-3-3-3---------|
G|-0-h-2-----2-2-2-2---------| x 3
A|-0---0-----0-0-0-0---------|
D|---------------------------|
E|---------------------------|

On the 4th time around, kick the G string up to the 4th fret.

e|-2---2-2----2-2------------|
B|-3---3-3----3-3------------|
G|-0-h-2-4----4-2------------|
A|-0---0-2----0-0------------|
D|---------------------------|
E|---------------------------|
