Pacing The Cageby Bruce Cockburn

Pacing The Cage is Bruce Cockburn’s gentle fingerpicking tune from his album The Charity Of Night, released in 1996. The song is played with a capo at the fourth fret and the picking is pretty standard alternate bass note patterns, with chords in the key of C major. Many of Bruce’s chord fingerings include wrapping the thumb over to fret the sixth string, and not all of these have good alternatives without changing the chord a bit. There are also some hammer-ons and partial barre chords.
