                     Cooking Up Something Good - Mac Demarco
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Daniel Corich
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 3rd fret on album, 4th fret live (tabbed relative to capo)

There seems to be a lot of conflicting chord charts for this song floating around, none of them with accurate 
timing, so I took some time to write this out. The chords should be 100% accurate as well as the chord 
progression/timing with the lyrics. Thanks for viewing and please rate this tab!

*Note on the A chord he bars with index finger on the first fret and slides up to A. Listen along to the song
and you'll hear what I mean. Or search Mac DeMarco - "Cooking Up Something Good" / Acoustic Session and watch it.
