Patty Griffin - Rain Tuning: Open D5 (D A D D A D) Key: D minor (D E F G A Bb C D) with A capo on the third fret, B minor (B C# D E F# G A B) without Tempo: 94 bpm Transcribed by Robert from Astlessons Link to my tutorial on YouTube: http://youtu.be/tpD7kyPJuQo No disrespect intended towards previous uploaders, there has been some good transcriptions in standard tuning, but this one is in Open D5 tuning with a capo on 3rd fret like Patty plays it. So if you are looking for an easier version in standard tuning, either read the text in the bottom of this page for mine, or use one of the previous four versions here which are good too. But if you do wanna play it like this, I highly recommend that you watch the tutorial too, since there is alot of plucking and strumming going on that would be hard to explain in text here.

Among the papers available are Lyrics & Chords, Lyrics & Chords plus (with added numbers of strumming pattern rounds per chord), Chord Diagrams, Tablature (on some parts) and Playing Patterns (strumming). I also have a Easy version with Standard tuning available if you think this way of playing is too hard, I of course also show this in the tutorial. If you need further help or explanations don't hesitate to ask, if it's a subject where other people may benefit from the answer it's best done by posting a comment on the tutorial, but posts here and personal messages will also be answered (though not as fast)! //Robert
