Misery Tabs

(ver. 2)
Soul Asylum
Soul Asylum- RMiseryS


I saw Soul Asylum last Sunday, June 4 at the Paradise in Boston.  Was anyone
else at this show?  I was right in front, about three feet away from Dave and
the band!  They were excellent!! The new CD is excellent.  Go buy it!!!

This is how I form the verse chords, please forgive the mistakes I've probably
made in naming them:

Verse Chords
C7 -032013-
C7/B -020013-
Am7 -002213-
F9 -003213-

Chorus/Pre-Chorus Chords (Guitar 2 plays barre chords)
C -032010-
G -320033-
F -003210-
Am -002210-
 
There's a brief intro with a few chords played on the acoustic guitar over
Ryth.fig 1. that I couldn't work out.  If someone could help me, I'd greatly
appreciate it!!  If it helps, when I saw them live, it looked like he was
sliding back and forth from the 5th to the 7th fret.  I just couldn't get it...
