Scorpion Chords

(ver. 2)
Lucy Kaplansky
Capo II

This song is full of little suspended chords that give the tune its distinctive vibe and 
make it a lot of fun to play. Instead of just naming the chords for you, here's a 
simple explanation of what you should do.

1. At the end of the first two lines of each verse, while still fingering the Em chord, 
hammer on and off the second fret of the third string. You should do this after the Em 
chord during the intro and break, too.
2. At the end of the third line of each verse, while still fingering the Am chord, 
hammer on and off the first fret of the second string.
3. At the end of the fourth line of each verse, as well as the choruses, while fingering 
the G chord, hammer on and off the first fret of the second string.

Listen to the CD and you'll hear what I mean.
