Members nuke_diver Posted November 20, 2009 Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 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 so I'm stuck...hopefully someone can bail me out 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!

Members nuke_diver Posted November 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 the third one doesn't look like an A to me...but then I did forget about the capo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nuke_diver Posted November 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 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???

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.
