By Tim Vesely and Dave Bidini
From the album "Whale Music"
Originally transcribed by: Aaron Albert and Dave Noisy
Think of the Dsus2 to D6sus2 as simply sliding the entire Dsus2 shape up two
frets before bringing it back
down, letting the D in the bass and the high open E ring out. This happens
when playing the first and third
D of each verse. In the bridge, the chords can be B5 and A5 instead.
Try the G as 320033 or a G5 3x0033.
