Chords/Tablature for
Families

Submitted by: Charlie Macon

Notes about this song:

  • Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)

Chords:

On the 'Living With War' DVD, it looks and sounds like
Neil is playing this, with CAPO on 5th fret:

G1:    x  x  5 12 12 10
Gmaj7: x  x  5 11 10 10
C:     x 10 10  9  8  8
G2:    x  x  5  7  8  7
D:     x  5  7  7  7  5

Used later on the G2 position, where indicated, just
hammer on and off at 3rd string 7th fret, between
xx5787 and xx5587.

And this chord appears later:
C2:    8  7  5  5  5  8

Note, without a capo there's always the trusty open
chords:
G:     320003
Gmaj7: 320032
C:     332010
D:     xx0232

Or some barre chords a-plenty.
