CARPENTER MARY CHAPIN - "the hard way" Tablature

THE HARD WAY (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
------------------------------------
[These are the chords for the acoustic (rhythm) guitar; capo at the 2nd
fret. The electric guitars play it in D with no capo. Frankly, either way
is pretty easy, but I wrote the chords down for the acoustic. The tab at
the end is for the electrics.]
[It sounds okay to play E7 instead of G#dim7.]
[I play C5 as x3x013 and G#dim7 as xx0101 or x20101.]
[Each chord is half a measure.]
