Adeline Tabs & Lyrics by Dr. Dog

guitar tabs lyrics
The main guitar in the actual recording may be tuned down a bit, but
since it is all barre chords, playing it in standard tuning works fine.
Song is in 4/4. Best to get the strumming down by listening. Enjoy.

Not sure of the name of Cm* chord, but basically you just are walking down
the note on the G string for the C minor chords in the chorus.
(or the D string if you choose to play it that way)
