Sweet Jane
View chords used in this chart
Cowboy Junkies version
This song is very simple, it's only 3 notes.
Basically, it's D - A - G - A.
you play D-D, D-A-A-G, G-G, G-A-A-D over and over
you may want to slide all on the E string like this.
G
D
A
E 10 10 10\5 5\3 3 3 3/5 5 /10
where \ means slide down and /means slide up
I never bothered to figure out the bridge (heavenly white roses..) but
you can safely continue to play those three notes, of course in a
different rhythm, which you should be able to pick up by listening to the
song.
