Dancing Shoes Chords & Tabs
My rendition of Dancing Shoes by Green River Ordinance
Chords: (I'll call it Gm7 in the lyrics area)
G: Em: Cadd9: Gm7sus4: F: C:
E-3-----0-----x--------2-----x-----0--|
A-2-----2-----3--------0-----x-----3--|
D-0-----2-----2--------0-----3-----2--|
G-0-----0-----0--------0-----2-----0--|
B-3-----3-----3--------3-----1-----1--|
e-3-----3-----3--------3-----1-----0--| (I know; I did this upside down but I'm too lazy
to change it haha)
The picking pattern for the odd chords is base note, G string, e string, B string. The
even notes is bass note, D string, and then a little down, down, up strumming pattern on
the higher notes. During the chorus put some emphasis on the bass notes as well,
especially with Gm7sus4.
