Barenaked Ladies - Testing 1 2 Chords & Tabs

“Testing 1-2-3”
The Barenaked Ladies
By Bob Sutherby (bobzyk@yahoo.com)


NOTES ON THE SONG:
- This is a chord file, but by necessity there is some tab in here
- Capo guitar at 2nd fret
- pitch is E major, but rhythm guitar plays as if in D major
- don’t be put off by the odd effects on the guitar in the opening; listen to the right channel because the left channel contains a pitch-shifting effect on the guitar
- percent sign % means repeat a bar (measure)
- see CHORD LEGEND at bottom of page for all the chord voicings
