Poor Man's House
Music and Lyrics by Patty Griffin
from the "Living With Ghosts" album
Chords transcribed by Scott Antall (santall@nylf.org)
(with the help of my guitar instructor!!)

Tuning:  "Dropped D" - This is easy - just tune the bass E string down one
whole step.  (This way, when you play the D chord, you can strum all the
strings.)

DADGBE - Capo at first fret

D (000232)   D* (000235 to 0000232)   A (002220)   G (X20033)
D* Explanation - start with (000235) then bring the pinkie down one fret
each time (000234, 000233) until you get to a regular D (000232).  Make
sense?  Listen to the album for more detail.
