Fools Gold
To play this accoustic highlight from Blissard, tune your guitar one step
down (D G C F A D). The song consists of these 3 riffs: (note that the
strumming isn`t accurate when included)
RIFF A (intro&verse) always played 3 times RIFF B (played after Riff A
and
during the solo.)
- (0) very loose (0) (0)
- (0) / // / (0) (0)
- 5 / // / 7 5
-2(2) 5 / // / 7 5
-2(2) 3 5 3

Find the strumming & rhythm yourselves..
RIFF C (Chorus)

I don't know all about the chorus (yet)
I think it starts with an Em and then that walk on the 6th string, etc.
hope it's useful.
