- Notes: 1) I assume you've heard the song.
- 2) No capo - all chords are first position open.
- 3) For the C chords during the bridge, use a standard 1st
- position C but play the G on the high E string with the pinky so
- that the voicing moves more like the slide guitar on the album.
- 4) I finger the F#7b9 lick at the end of Chorus I like this:
- XX____ _XOOO_
- |||||| first fret ||||||
- ------ ------
- ||1111 ----> |||||| wrapping the thumb
- ------ ------ makes it much easier
- |||2|3 (lift up '3'...) Tx|||3 to grab the G chord...
- ------ ------ (x = mute ; O = open)
-
- 5) The G->G/F#->Em and D(sus) stuff is very typical of Penn...
-
- I wish I had time to type in all the lovely twiddles and chord patterns,
- but this is the best I can do and still have a job... If you've heard
- the song, it'll be easy to figure out those details...
