    Default Chords for Jeff Buckley song

    Can you guys give me a few variations on the following chords?

    Csus2
    Emadd9
    C#m7
    F#7

    I'm brand new to the mandolin and to this forum, so if this thread is in the wrong place I apologize.

    While I'm also learning the basics, I want to dive right into learning to play some of my fav songs, this one being Jeff Buckley's gorgeous love song "Lover You Should Have Come Over."

    I found the chords for the guitar here: http://www.moretabs.com/b/buckleyjef...bs-102234.html

    but I don't know how to play some of them on the mandolin.

    Can you guys help me out?

    Thanks!

    Allegra

    That chord generator is pretty cool. Add9 usually means it has the 9th but not the flatted 7th, so for Emadd9, you would not have a D note in it like you would in an Em7. Actually, their Em9 is an Emadd9. Try the variations they give you to see which ones work best in the context of the song.
