Artist: Craig Lyons
Song: California
Standard tuning(EADGBe)
Capo on 3rd fret( he has a high pitched voice so if you can't sing as he
does, I recommened you to either skip the capo or put in on a lower fret,
it will still get you the chicks ;P!)
The thing is that I don't really know what all chords are called, these are
not frequently used chords, so I'll call them X and Y till someone tells me.
