Anything But Ordinary

good song by a good singer , back in the good old days before she went all popstar on us .

the two chords you may be unfamiliar with are G/B ( x20033 ) and C/B ( x20010 ) .
to play them without sounding weird you need to push the finger
that is on the 2nd fret of the a string ( your index finger for G/B and your middle
for C/B )
and get the tip of your finger/nail to mute the low E string so it doesn’t ring .
