This is my favourite tuning for playing DAA tabs. I also like it as I find it easier to sing with. But there are very few places that write tab or chord shapes for CGG. It used to be popular I understand, but is now largely ignored.

I hope the chart above helps someone. I am not great at fancy layout so I am happy to explain further if you ask me. There are many other fingerings to get the chords, but I have kept it simple.
