Patrick Sky - Separation blues (guitar chords)

Stick a capo on the second fret

Just tried to figure out the tabs by watching a youtube video of Patrick Sky
playing it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tuMAA-Rmvc&feature=related
Some parts might not be as complex as Patrick Sky plays it but this sounds pretty ok as well

Sorry I don’t know the exact symbol of some weird chords so here they are :

G = 320033
G* = 320030
G7 = 320001
D = xx0232
Db = xxx121
D** = xx0235
E = 022100
C = 032010
A = 002220

There’s a very quick riff at some point :

---0---------------------------|
-------3-----------------------|
-----------3------0-----0------|
---------------3-----3-----0---|
-------------------------------|
-------------------------------|

There’s a lot of picking the high strings throughout the whole song (especially
the * chords), some strumming at other moments, just listen to the song and you’ll figure it out.

Wonderful tune, hope you’ll enjoy it.
