The other clam crab cockle chords are close. The first is a half step
too high, and both are missing or contain wrong chords.
I put a chord letter every time she plucks a bass root note.
Note: she plays the bass note of the B chord below the low E
on the guitar, so it will sound slightly different on guitar
unless you tune down.

That means no, where I come from.
