Tuning: E A D G B E
artist: tom waits song: shiny things album: orphans: brawlers, bawlers & bastards an attempt to make a rendition of this song. pretty close to the original tho. example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zjcg0jNkyo (tuning there is dgcfad, two half steps lower than standard, capo on 6th fret) the original song is played in g#/ab, standard tuning. here: keep standard tuning, put capo on fret 1. ******************************************************************************* [Chords] G D D/F# C C/G Bm Em
