PATTY GRIFFIN CHORDS & LYRICS


RAIN

DADDAD

Capo III

Yes, that says DADDAD, and that's how Patty plays it. While I understand that she switches out her G string for another D, your guitar should probably be fine just by tuning down your G string so that it sounds identical to an open 4th string -- especially with the capo at the 3rd fret to help keep the string from flopping around. The chords are ridiculously simple, and there are a couple of ways to do it.

On the CD and in concert, Patty plays it like this:

G: 550000
A: 770000
Bm: 990000
D: 000000

If playing anything but first position chords give you the heebie-jeebies, you can also play it with basic Open D shaped chords as follows:

G: 550000
A: 002000
Bm: 024000
D: 000000
