CRAZY GAME -- Emily Saliers
___________________________
tab by Scot Ninnemann, Rob Sticka, and Ann Mahasaen
This version is compiled from the first OLGA version, by watching Emily's
fingering on videos, and by ear from the Strange Fire cd. Of course,
there are always a few minor variations between various performances of
this song, usually slightly different strumming patterns.
Here are some suggested fingerings for chords. Please note especially the
first three chords of the song as well as the last three chords of the
chorus as fingered here--because the fingerings shown here of these chords
are related, it will make switching between these chords MUCH easier:
T=thumb, 1=index, 2=middle, 3=ring, 4=pinky

AMaj7: Emily plays the Amaj7 at the 0 fret. If it's easier for
you, play this chord at the 5th fret.
If you have trouble using your thumb on the F#7, F#m7, and FMaj7
chords, try using these fingerings:
F#7 f#m7 FMaj7

Emily plays B7 at the seventh fret during the "...and it's true..." part.
