🎸 Chord Gerry Rafferty - Matties Rag

mattie’s rag
gerry rafferty

notes :
this was originally recorded by gerry rafferty in the key of D minor . i have tabbed it
in a minor . if you wish to play in Dm then set capo to fret 5 .

the Cmaj7 is a passing chord and is played on the just the fourth beat of the bar i . E .
C C C cmaj7am Am Am Am etc .

the Dsus4 chord is played on the first two beats of the bar D D D ddsus4 Dsus4 D D .
consider it optional as i’m not sure gerry rafferty played it but i think it sounds good .
