VIRGINIA WOOLF (Emily Saliers)------------------------------(Tuning: DADGBC)For the intro, I'm making up some chord names. I'm calling 3x3000"F(#4/9)," meaning "F with an added sharp 4th and a 9th," and I'm calling2x2000 "Em(addC)," meaning "Em with a C added." The songbook calls them"G7/F" and "Cmaj7/E," but I don't think that does them justice.FIRST SECTION:F(#4/9) F(#4/9) Em(addC) Em(addC)C --------0-------|--------0-------|--------0-------|--------0-------| B ------0---0-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----| PLAY G ----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---| FIVE D --3-----------3-|--3-----------3-|--2-----------2-|--2-----------2-| TIMES A ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D 3---------------|3---------------|2---------------|2---------------|^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .F(#4/9) F(#4/9) G(4) G(4)C --------0-------|--------0-------|--------0-------|--------0-------| B ------0---0-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----| G ----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---| D --3-----------3-|--3-----------3-|--2-----------2-|--2-----------2-| A ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D 3---------------|3---------------|2---------------|2---------------|^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .
