Better In The Long Run Cifras

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           BETTER IN THE LONG RUN by Miranda Lambert
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Chords by: Vilmos Vas
Tuning: Standard, Capo on the 1st fret
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This is my approach on this great tune by Miranda Lambert. Compared to the other tabs, I
changed the chord voicings, because I missed the depth playing this song with the capo on the
3rd fret. It is not easier to play the song this way, it just sounds better in my opinion.
 
The other change is that the first two chords in the other tabs are originally one chord
(F major is what you hear) with two different voicings. I thought it is important to keep the
bass note the same because it represents the sound of the original record better. Another change
is that I missed one extra chord in the previous tabs at the end of the song, so I included it.
 
I hope you like my version, have fun with this wonderful song!
