The Cm7 chord
A minor 7th adds the flat 7th to a minor chord. It is common in soul, funk and jazz, and sounds lighter than a plain minor chord.
Numbers on the dots are fingers: 1 index, 2 middle, 3 ring, 4 pinky. ○ means play the string open and × means don't play it. Orange marks the root note. The tab reads from the low E string to the high E string.
