CRAZY GAME -- Emily Saliers
___________________________
tab by Scot Ninnemann, Rob Sticka, and Ann Mahasaen
This version is compiled from the first OLGA version, by watching Emily's
fingering on videos, and by ear from the Strange Fire cd. Of course,
there are always a few minor variations between various performances of
this song, usually slightly different strumming patterns.
Here are some suggested fingerings for chords. Please note especially the
first three chords of the song as well as the last three chords of the
chorus as fingered here--because the fingerings shown here of these chords
are related, it will make switching between these chords MUCH easier:
T=thumb, 1=index, 2=middle, 3=ring, 4=pinky
C#7 B7 B7 F#7
(bar 4th fret) (bar 2nd fret) (bar 7th fret)

AMaj7: Emily plays the Amaj7 at the 0 fret. If it's easier for
you, play this chord at the 5th fret.
If you have trouble using your thumb on the F#7, F#m7, and FMaj7
chords, try using these fingerings:
F#7 F#m7 FMaj7
=========== =========== ===========
| | | | | | | | | | | | 1 x | | 2 |

1 x 2 | 3 | 1 x 2 3 4 | | | 3 4 | |

Emily plays B7 at the seventh fret during the "...and it's true..." part.
FIRST THREE CHORDS OF THE SONG:

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official INDIGO GIRLS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
