Stranded In Self-pity chords by Warren Haynes

STRANDED IN SELF-PITY
Warren Haynes

Any Bb instruments (clarinet, tenor/soprano sax, some trumpets) will need to play one full
step higher than the guitars. Warren recorded this on his 335 with a super clean, warm
jazzy tone with a mid boost and rolling back the volume on the guitar.

Note that the Gm7 in the third stanza of each verse could be a Bb major chord. I felt like
the G bass note was correct, but you could play it either way and it will sound fine. You
can also use an Fmaj7/C instead of the F major for a jazzier sound.
