Cadillac Sky - Tired Old Phrases
from Letters in the Deep (2010)

I first figured this one out without a capo, but it is easier to play with capo. When David Mayfield 
plays this he uses capo 4 (or even 5 sometimes higher) using C chords (C, G, F, Am7). You can hit the 
transpose button down to -4 for those chords. When Ross Holmes strums it he uses capo 2 (D A G Bm7, 
tranpose -2) And Matt Menefee picks out with no capo though I can't tell if with these chords or
with a guitar tuned down a whole step. 
Other than a couple of Emaj7 embellishments in verses 3 & 4 the chords are the same for 
the verses and instrumentals.

  E     xx2100
  Emaj7 xx2130
  B7    xx1202
  A     xx2220
  C#m7  xx6454 or xx2104

Picking: something like strings 4 2 3 2 1 2 3 2  (or  4 3 4 2 1 2 3 2
or 4 3 2 3 1 3 2 3  ?)

    E       E B7       E E A A      E E A E B7  C#m7    A B7      E
e|------0---------2------------0--------------------4--------22---0---0---|
B|---0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0------2-2-2-2--------------5-5-5-5---0-000-000-0-0-0|
G|----1---1-----2---2--------2---2--------------------4-----222-2-1-1---1-|
D|--2---------1------------2--------------------6---------1-------2-------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Hopefully someone who knows something about bluegrass can verify this or get the picking 
more exact.
