Cold To See Clear, Nada Surf
(Capo on 2nd fret)
**Note: the song can be played with the chords in their standard fingering patterns and
it will sound fine.
But to play more faithfully to the original (the way Matthew Caws plays it), the
fingering patterns for the
three chords in the Intro, Verse, and Outro can be played as:
D A Em
e|---0---------0---------0-------|
B|---7---------5---------8-------|
G|---0---------0---------0-------|
D|---7---------7---------9-------|
A|---5---------0---------7-------|
E|-----------------------0-------|
