Cover Me by Candlebox
Cover Me
Tuning: E A D G B E (standard)
In case you're just learning how to play I've included the chord pattern as
well as finger positioning for your convenience. For example below, with
the Em (E minor) chord... you will use your 2nd(middle) and 3rd (ring finger)
both on the 2nd fret leaving the other 4 strings open signified by a "0"
meaning no fret contact. Enjoy! :)

I've given you a pretty accurate count for the strum pattern. But if you
listen to the song a few times in a row you'll get it and can play along
with it. Or just do it your own way. Have fun! :)

Just sound the chords over the verses like on
the cd its pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
And also if you want to be extra close on the D note
you can play it like this..
--2--2-3-2---------
--3--3-3-3---------
--2--2-2-2---------
-------------------
-------------------
-------------------
The chorus is something like this like this
D G
Miiiiiiiind
G D G

D G

G D

D G
