Capo VI
This is a really simple song to play, the first off Anais' album
"Young Man in America". It only uses two chords throughout:
Asus2 (002200), and a version of Cmaj7 (332000).
Anais plays the first chord with her second and third fingers,
so when the chord changes the fourth and fifth fingers move up
easily to the top two strings. Listen to the song for the rhythm
and strumming.
Asus2
Oh mother shelter
Cmaj7
A mother is a shelterer
Asus2
Oh mother shelter
Cmaj7 Asus2
Mother shel-ter us
Cmaj7
From the wild winds howling
Asus2 Cmaj7
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh-oooh (x4)

Oh father shepherd
Cmaj7
A father is a shepherder
Asus2
Oh father shepherd
Cmaj7 Asus2
Father shep-herd us
Cmaj7
From the wild wolves howling
Asus2 Cmaj7
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh-oooh (x4)
Asus2
Your cities are a wilderland
Cmaj7
Look upon your children
Asus2
Your cities are a wilderland
Cmaj7
Look upon your, look upon
Asus2
Your highways are a wilderland
Cmaj7
Look upon your children
Asus2
Your highways are a wilderland
Cmaj7
Look upon your, look upon
Asus2
Look upon your children
Cmaj7
Wandering in the wilderland
Asus2
Look upon your children
Cmaj7 Asus2
Wandering in the woods
Singing
Cmaj7
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh-oooh (x9)
This song moves beautifully straight into the second song
off the album, the title track "Young Man in America".
Still trying to figure out the tabs for the whole song,
so it will hopefully follow.
Hope this is accurate and you enjoy :)
