Hard Candy Counting Crows tab nicked from www.azchords.com as there wasn't a tab for it on here when I searched it it made me sad! =) its not grate so if some one wants to redo it that would be awesome! =) Standard tuning Capo 2nd fret Note: This can be played without a capo, but I prefer playing the intro with a capo. The chord shapes I use: (relative to capo) Dsus2 - xx0230 A - x02220 Dsus2/G - 3x0230 Em - 022000 Dsus2/F#- 2x0230 D - xx0232 Dsus2/E - 000230 F#m- 244222 G - 320033 Intro: Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2/F# Dsus2/E F#-|------0---------0---------0--------------0-| C#-|--------3---------3---------3-------3-2--3-| A -|-----------------------------------------2-| E -|-0---------------------------------------0-| B -|-------------------------------------------| F#-|-----------3---------2---------0-----------| (D) (G) (F#) (E) For the verses, strum over the intro riff chords.
