This is the capo version of Cornerstone chords by Robert Farell that was submitted
by MyNameIsRamone.

Thanks a lot you two for making and submitting this tab here.

I think it would be a lot easier for some novice player to play this song without
the bar chords :) so i made the capo version of it.
But i still can’t figure out how to play the Cm while placing your capo on the 2nd fret so I
guess you still have to play the chord like this:

Cm: (335543)

[Intro]




[Verse 1]


I thought I sa

w you in the b

attleship

She was nothin

g but a vision

 trick
             
Under the warn

 
ing light
            
She was close,

             
 close enough 

              
to be your gho

             
st

But my chances

 turned to toa

st
             
When i asked h

              
er if i could 

            
call her your 

                                   (

I thought I sa

w you in the r

usty hook
             
Huddled up in 

        
a wicker chair

I wandered ove

r for a closer

 look
             
And kissed who

             
 ever was sitt


ing there
            
She was close,

             
 and she held 

              
me very tightl

       
y

'Til I asked a

wfully politel
