Title: Dead Man
Artist: Cross Canadian Ragweed
Album: Mission California(2007)
Ok here's my best attempt at this song. Its not perfect because Cody plays it
a little different every time, but this is pretty close.
For this song, when you strum, you can either play all the strings as tabbed,
or you can mute the high e string; you can even mute both the high e and b
strings if you like, it sounds fine. Keep your pinky and ring fingers on the
3rd fret of the high e and b strings respectively, only moving your index
and middle to play the entire song (except during bridge).
Chords:
G5/F(i think): G Csus2 D9(maybe?):

A|-x-| A|-x-| A|-x-| A|-3-| A|-x-|
E|-x-| E|-x-| E|-x-| E|-x-| E|-x-|

E|------3--------3---3---3---|
B|------3--------3---3---3---|
G|------0--------0---0---0---|
D|-3-------------------------|

NOTE: in the intro and fill pairs of a chord are played by a quick down/up
strum, triplets of a chord are played up/down/up strum. (each bar does
represent a measure, the spacing just got off)
