Chord,Tablature, lyric, sheet, guitar, ukulele song: Family Hands - ( FAMILY HANDS (Mary Chapin Carpenter) [Recorded in F. Ma...)

--
FAMILY HANDS (Mary Chapin Carpenter)


------------------------------------

[Recorded in F. Mary Chapin plays in dropped-D tuning (DADGBE) in the key
of D, with a capo on the 3rd fret. John Jennings plays the lead part in
C with a capo on the 5th fret (and standard tuning).]
[All the verses aren't _exactly_ the same, but they're close enough
that I only wrote tablature for the first verse.]
[I wasn't able to write tablature for the rhythm guitar during the lead
guitar solos, because the lead guitar gets in the way. But I _have_
written down the exact chord shapes she uses.]
