Devils And Dust Chords & Tabs
The following is a variation on Rockcru's very credible post.
I also watched the video version where he capo's on the second fret
very closely. Both E strings tuned down to D. I've made a minor
re-interpretation of some of the chord forms. Notes directly from
Rockcru's original
