Blue Sunny

blue sunny day by jonathan coulton capo 2nd fret so as this song uses a capo on the second fret , i’ve decided to use the names of the actual chords rather than the basic shape names like most people do . i think it’s misleading and unhelpful for you to learn a song and start unconsciously linking the wrong chord names to the wrong sounds . so hopefully you wont notice a huge difference when learning it , but it’ll be worth it . let me know if your really struggling though and i’ll see what i can do for you .
