If I Prove False by Cara Dillon
If I Prove False
John plays in an alternate tuning on the DVD (DADGAD, I think!) but I have attempted
this in standard tuning.
To play in the same key as Cara and John, slip your capo on at the 2nd fret.
The chord names are relative to capo, so play D as xx0232, but it’s actually an E!
