Theory Of A Deadman - Lowlife

standard tuning . the original is in drop C# , G# , C# , F# , A# , D# . i have written this so
it can be played in standard alongside the original .

capo 1 : if you choose not to use a capo you can play bar chords as G# , F# , C# G#
instead . i use a capo in the 1st fret and play mostly open chords except for the F . also when
playing the “livin it up” sections i play F# and G# bar chords while the capo is on , but
the capo has no effect on bar chords played above the first fret .

extended cd intro hold G

radio intro G , F . it’s the same pattern as the “livin it up , livin it up , being A
lowlife” part . just tack that up here as well .
