View Guitar Chords for Life in a nutshell - chords ver. 1
From: [email protected] Subject: barenaked_ladies: life_in_a_nutshell.crd (alternate version) Recently, someone posted chords for this Barenaked Ladies song from "Maybe You Should Drive." It didn't sound quite right to me, and this is what I've come up with. I play it with a capo on the 5th fret, but only because it makes it easier to play the subtle adds that Ed throws in along the way. Any comments are welcome, especially from the person who made the original post.
