Ben Harper - Suzie Blue

helpful hints :
put the capo wherever works with your voice . i put it on 3rd fret then use normal open
chords for most of this song .
the exceptions are two bar chords for the G# – G part ( far away . . . ) with the different
strum pattern use a bar – chord 4 frets up from your capo .

where i say ( B note ) it is the second fret up from your capo on the a string to make
that nice move to the A7 . you can leave your fingers in the open C – shape ( or Am ) and just
move the finger to touch on that B and then strum once .

in the first line that G chord is just a pluck on the root note and then one strum
down+up then E note . you can leave it out if you want .

* * i capitalized the letter of each word when the chord changes on that word .
