BAY OF MEXICO
Traditional - arr. Dave Guard
It's played in C, in C tuning & w/5th strong muted on 7th fret (long neck)
Db Ebm Fm Ab Gb
-1---3-------- -----4-------- ----6----- --1------- -1----4---
-1-2---------- -----4------- ----6----- --1------ -1-2-------
-1------------ ---3--------- ---5------ --1------- -1--3------
-1------------ ---3---------- ---5------- ---3-------- -1--------
Now you can slide these chords up a fret for the next set...when switching from
the Db to Gb & D to G, keep the 1st & 2nd fingers in place. I found that easier
than lifting my fingers off for the G-chord then trying to re-form the D
That's it...simple, huh? (WHA???)
so get ready...get set...
