Jar of Cardinals Tabs & Lyrics by Guided By Voices
Jar of Cardinals
guitar tabs lyrics
Here's my lame attempt at the chords for Jar Of Cardinals (someone
requested them awhile ago).
The same thing gets played throughout, it's just a three-chord progression
that goes to another key for the next three chords (I think).
G G* Em C C* Am
The G is a standard 3rd fret barre, the rest are the standard open chords.
The C* chord is just x20010 (according to a book I have this is a G6 (B
bass C added) but I just call it C*). The G* is the same thing as the C*
on the 7th fret, but to play it at the 3rd fret like it's supposed to be, I
think it's like this x34433. You can walk the bass down from the G to the
G* as 3--2 with your thumb on the E string, but my thumb isn't big enough
to get that F# (I think the bass takes care of it on the album). This
probably isn't exactly right, and you can substitute a Bm for the G*,
though it sounds a little off.
