Black Dirt

*

*None of the chords are written relative to a capo at 4*
I only used a capo 4 because I think the beginning is awkward to play
without one.  I suggest you play the song with a capo at 4 for the
beginning, then right before the solo, throw off the capo.

You could leave it on, because the rest of the song
is played with barre chords above the 4th fret (and the solo doesn't
go below the 4th fret).  Just make sure to ignore your capo,
then, as nothing is written relative to it.

Play Em/Eb: X6998X, the rest are standard barre chords.

If you want chords relative to a capo on 4, make these changes
Em=Cm, Gsus2=Ebsus2, Dsus2=Bbsus2, B=G, A=F, D=Bb, Em/Eb=Cm/B
