Rachael Yamagata — Duet (ver 2) Chords
Ok, so here is my first attempt at chording. It started with a version by Timberwo7ves
under this artist. I believed there were some errors in chord placement, as well as the
that was listed, I believe is better served with a C#m. As well, under "Rachel Yamagata"
there is a true tablature, that I reprinted (Thanks to Midori for the tab), but
tab had the same error, using C# instead of C#m. However, if you look at the tab below,
I did correct the "C#" to a "C#m", I didn't change the tab itself, because it was
correctly finger picking a tab that was a C#m shape. Regarding the Timberwo7ves
I then chorded out the second and third verses as well to make it complete. Hope it
The chord placements are probably the best for the picking arrangement that I heard on
recording between Rachael and Ray Lamontagne.

And here is the picking tablature from Midori, with a correction.
