Consequence Free (Doyle/McCann)
From "Turn"(1999)
Notes:
An attempt at getting this tune right in all its surprising subtleties.
Other tabs use Sean's (easier) capoed part, but Alan's uncapoed part is
a bit more distinctive, including on the LP version his Takamine 12 string,
(also heard on GOIN' UP and TROIS NAVIRES DE BLE)

'Cause I’m getting sick of feeling guilty all the time
E B* A* B*

I’d like to leave it all behind,

ooh, for just one night
[Verse 3]
E B* A* B*
Wouldn’t it be great, if the band just never ended
E B* A* B*
We could stay out late and we would never hear last call
E B* A* B*
We wouldn’t need to worry about approval or permission, we could
E B* A* B*
Slip off the edge and never worry about the fall (worry 'bout the fall)

Why not just play it in D with a capo on II?
