Other songs:
Artist: The Black Lillies
Song: Whiskey Angel
Album: Whiskey Angel
Capo: V
*The song is in the key of C, one guitar plays in open C
and the other capos up to the 5th fret and plays in G.
All of these chords are relative to the capo, you should
never really have to take your ring and pinky fingers off
the E and B strings, it basically just walks down the bass… Enjoy!!**
