Chord/Tab song: Life Is Good Blues

Beautiful song from the incredible Laura?s July Flame album.

The chords are easy but this one is very best suited to alternate picking for the
bass notes on the Em, Am7 and C chords.

I've put the picking patterns at the foot of the tab!

Ok. It's in standard tuning, capo 3rd fret.

Chords relative to capo?d position
i.e. Am7 is actually a Cm7, G is actually Bb and so on!
