Thanks to this board I re-fell in love with Bruce Cockburn's Pacing the Cage.

 

I've watched the videos, I've looked at a few tabs but the third chord in the verse I can't quite figure out what is being played. And yes I have a crappy ear :mad: so I'm stuck...hopefully someone can bail me out :wave:

 

I think the song starts with C -> G/B ->?????some kind of Am or Fm????? nothing I play sounds quite right, strummed or picked

 

Thanks!

I found this which sounds to be correct (chord names are not taking the capo into account). But I think then the chords are E, Bb and not sure what the F2 is translating too???

C G/B Fsus2/A

Everything goes up a major 3rd. The chords are E, B/D# and Asus2/C# - if you need to communicate with other musicians not using capoed guitars. Otherwise it's fine to think 'C, G/B, Fsus2/A' while you're playing.
