The Precipice Chords & Tabs
I play it with capo 3 instead, which have the following chord translations:
D# = C
Cm = Am
G# = F
A# = G
This also allows me to do the picking instead if I want it to sound like the original
instead of just chords. Using open chords on capo 3, I just pick A and D strings back and
forth for the C and the Am and the E and A strings for the F (barred) and G.
Something like this:
D|---5---5---5---5---5--|
A|-6---6---6---6---6----|
E|----------------------| ...continue until chord change
D|---5---5---5---5---5--|
A|-3---3---3---3---3----|
E|----------------------| ...continue
D|----------------------|
A|---6---6---6---6---6--|
E|-4---4---4---4---4----| ...continue
D|----------------------|
E|---5---5---5---5---5--|
E|-6---6---6---6---6----| ...continue
I did this fast, so please let me know if I typed it up wrong. And sorry for the lack
of apostrophes--UG does not like them.

Ill follow you
