Barenaked Ladies - Lovers In A Dangerous Time

lovers in a dangerous time by bnl

i’ve seen a couple versions of this song out there but most incorrectly have A
capo on the third fret . there’s a good clip of ed on youtube playing with a capo
on 2 and the chords are pretty easy to make out . hammer on and pull off the middle
finger on the G – string when playing the Fmaj7 to get the riff right .

( capo on 2 )
G : 320033
Am7 : x02010
Fmaj7 : x33210
Gadd11 : 32001
