Song: When the party's over (Live version)
Artist: Janis Ian
Later live performance video in Eb at this link:
I haven't tabbed the whole song, this is just an indication of
some of the chord variations in the verses that differ slightly
from the original album version.
DROPPED 'D' TUNING: D-A-D-G-B-e
Tune bottom E string down to D, this gives you an additional
option to hit this string too for the D major or any of the other
chords with a D bass in them.
CAPO: 1st fret (Will then sound in this live performance key of Eb)
PLEASE IGNOD ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the webpage may automatically
suggest, and use the shapes indicated below.
