ANGEL STANDING BY (Jewel Kilcher)
---------------------------------
- I believe this is recorded in C# on the album, so tune your guitar like so
if you really want accuracy: C#G#C#E#G#C#. But it's a lot easier to just
think in open D (DADF#AD), and so that's how I've written down the chords.
- The D chord is usually played using harmonics on the 12th fret.
- The C#, C, B, A, and G chords are made by holding all of the strings at
a single fret: 11, 10, 9, 7, and 5, respectively.
- Each chord stands for one 6/8 measure, except for D - A (in the intro),
which is one measure total. Tab for the intro is at the end of this file.
