We Sing Like Jailbirds by Picture Atlantic
We Sing Like Jailbirds
The alternate tuning is sort of optional for this song. The 6th string is really
only used sometimes as a bass note between measures. You can leave it as an E if
you don't mind losing that detail.
You can also just use C instead of Cadd4.
The picking pattern looks something like this for each chord:
C Cadd4 Em F
e|--------0-----|---------------|---------------|---------------|
B|-----------1--|--------1------|--------0------|--------1------|
G|------0-------|-----------0---|-----------0---|-----------2---|
D|---2----------|-----3---------|-----2---------|-----3---------|
A|--------------|--3------------|--2------------|--3------------|
C|--------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|
It's slightly different in some parts of the song, but this is the general pattern.
