Better Man Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Also, in the chorus, Dadd4add9 doesn't slide back down to C until around the word "be"

but it's a long chord name and a pain in the ass to fit in there. Listen to the song,

you'll figure the strumming and everything out.

(s=slide to)

Intro during horn solo is just G to Cadd9 to G repeating
