Dwight Yoakam - Baby Why Not guitar chord

Dwight Yoakam - Baby Why Not

By axehappy - axehappy@

Play this with capo on 1st fret.

All chord names and shapes are relative to position of capo.

Real chord names in square brackets below.

You should really detune your guitar a half-step to play this song,

but playing it this way is quicker for me to tab.

F (F#) = 133211 C (Db) = x32010

F7 (F#7) = 131211 Bb (B) = x13331
