INDIGO GIRLS - "crazy game" Tablature

CRAZY GAME -- Emily Saliers
___________________________

tab by Scot Ninnemann, Rob Sticka, and Ann Mahasaen

This version is compiled from the first OLGA version, by watching Emily's
fingering on videos, and by ear from the Strange Fire cd. Of course,
there are always a few minor variations between various performances of
this song, usually slightly different strumming patterns.

Here are some suggested fingerings for chords. Please note especially the
first three chords of the song as well as the last three chords of the
chorus as fingered here--because the fingerings shown here of these chords
are related, it will make switching between these chords MUCH easier:

T=thumb, 1=index, 2=middle, 3=ring, 4=pinky


C#7 B7 B7 F#7

AMaj7: Emily plays the Amaj7 at the 0 fret. If it's easier for
you, play this chord at the 5th fret.

If you have trouble using your thumb on the F#7, F#m7, and FMaj7
chords, try using these fingerings:

F#7 F#m7 FMaj7

=========== =========== ===========

1 x 2 | 3 | 1 x 2 3 4 | | | 3 4 | |

| | | 4 | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


Emily plays B7 at the seventh fret during the "...and it's true..." part.

There is a quick open E string right here ^ before the 2slide7.

Repeat (excluding first two chords at the beginning) for the verse,
substituting a B7 for the last measure:

FIRST VERSE
crazy ..
but ..
love ..
and ..
confusion ..
i've ..

B7(2nd fret)
listen ..


CHORUS:
A(5th fret) am(5th fret)
'cause ..


g#m(4th fret) C#7
look ..

f#m g#m A(5th fret)
she ..

B7(7th fret) Amaj7 g#m F#7 F#m7 Fmaj7
and ..

(for these last three chords, be sure to use the fingerings listed at the
start of this document) This then leads into the last four measures of
the verse played as an instrumental break, and the verse then restarts:


SECOND VERSE (play same as 1st verse)

chorus again

the last two chords of the song are:


---8----0-----
---8----7-----
---8----8-----
---7----6-----
---x----7-----
---7----0-----
