Chord/Tab song: City Bird

Chord,Tablature, lyric, sheet, guitar, ukulele song: City Bird - ( This song could be played with the capo off, making some ...)

--
This song could be played with the capo off, making some of the chords a lot easier, but
making some of them a lot harder.
So I'll stick with a capo on the first fret. All chords are relative to the capo.

Some of the fingering can hurt your hand, so you might be able to find better fingerings
the trickier chords, but I've tried to make them as painless as possible.

Also, try to let most of the notes ring, especially the highest notes of each chord.

Where the chord has one less note than the others, it is usually a spot where you slide
the notes of the next chord.

Capo on first:

You neglect your wings like you don't need them
