WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Crosby Stills Nash - Suite Judy Blue Eyes Chords | Ver. 1
Dear OLGA,
I posted the modal tuning version a
while back. Since then I've watched the
Warfield concert video again and noted
a couple of mistakes in my original post:
1) The tuning is actually DADDAd, and *not* DDDDAd
as I originally thought. This might seem like a major
change, but in fact it's hard to tell the difference. All of
the chord fingerings remain the same. The only way
I determined the 5th string was an A was that Stills plays
a brief riff on the top three strings during his solo.
2) I originally indicated chord (3) as the second chord
in the first set of verses (e.g., on the word "point" in
"It's getting to the point..."). Careful viewing/listening
to the video made me change this to chord (8). It doesn't
seem to go as well with the melody note, but that's what
Stills seems to be playing.
Here it is again with the corrections added.

(Solo guitar acoustic version)
Words and music: Stephen Stills
Miscellaneous gossip: Judy supposedly refers to Judy Collins
Chords from the 1991 San Francisco Warfield Theatre
concert video: "Crosby, Stills & Nash, Acoustic".
Here's my best shot at the chords after repeated viewings
of the video. Some of the fingerings aren't very visible in
the video so there are undoubtedly some mistakes below.
Corrections are welcome.
Guitar: Modal D tuning (DADDAd)
Note: the original recording was in modal E tuning (EBEEBe)
which uses the same fingerings but sounds in E.
(Note that the two versions differ a bit musically.)

(nc) = no chord strumming, let the previous one ring
Sorry about using numbers (n) to refer to chords,
but I found it the easiest way since there are
multiple fingerings used for the same chords
throughout the song.
Stills plays some sections with a flat pick,
some with hand strumming.
