Big Daddy

Tuning:  DADDAD

Capo:  5


Patty doesn't play the song in DADDAD--I don't think there are any versions
out there where Patty plays guitar at all--but playing it in DADDAD gives it
a feel similar to the one on the record.  If you hate alternate tunings, you
can play the same chords in standard tuning formation in standard tuning
with a capo on the fifth fret.


D:     000000         (standard tuning:    XX0232)
G:     550000         (standard tuning:    320033)
Em:    220000         (standard tuning:    022000)
D/F#:  440000         (standard tuning:    200232)
A:     770000         (standard tuning:    X02220)


For the most part just play a steady, rhythmic downstrum on the top four strings
over and over.  Whenever you play the D chord play this:

-------------------]
