Pierre Caron) Tuning : EF#EbEBE I can't tell if Smokey is in standard or in open tuning. You can play it in standard. But I've come up with this arrangement recently, while fumbling for an interresting open tuning on my electric guitar. Just strum the chords given here as in the original song. If you want to play it in G as in the album, use a capo on 3rd fret. as usual, a = 10 ; b = 11 ; c = 12 ...
