The Gaslight Anthem - Casanova Baby

so here’s a acoustic version of the gaslight anthem’s ’casanova , baby!’

capo on 3rd fr .
the main chord pattern in this song is G Em7 D ( without capo it is A# Gm7 F , but i
to play it with a capo because it is easier and sounds better )

i would recommend to play the chords like this :

G ( 320033 )
Em7 ( 022033 )
Em ( 022000 )
Dsus ( xx0233 )
Cadd9 ( 032033 )

however , you can also play the “standard chords” but i guess it sounds better with this
have fun and enjoy . feel free to comment and/ or correct .

but it’s past a quarter to three
Em7 Dsus
and it’s past the midnight hour
