version 4
Capo:1st fret
Standard tuning
After transposing for a little bit i found this version in a bit easier
to sing along with. Not so many higher notes to hit. Though the verses
are a little low, the chorus sounds pretty good.

version 6
Capo:no capo
Im also going to include the intro for those who have a second guitar player or
just want to know how to play it.
AGAIN TUNE A HALF STEP DOWN
All the chords are standard except this one we'll call Eb/G
Em/G
eb|--3--|
Bb|--3--|
Gb|--0--|
Db|--2--|
Ab|--2--|
Eb|--0--|
One last side note- you'll hear the 5th fret of the high e string being played
with every chord in the verses. That is his guitarist playing that note. The way
ive written it out is exactly how Justin plays the song. (the alternate way to
play it hits the note but doesnt sound nearly as good, again scroll past the first
version.)
Intro:
(D) (A) (Em/G) (G)
eb|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
Bb|8/10~~--------|------------8b|8~----------5v|\3v-----------|

Em/G G D
Oh, flyin' down a back road
Now for the alternate version if you don't want to tune down (as i said before the
tradeoff is it doesnt sound as good but you dont have to tune and you hit that
note on the high e string that his guitarist plays throughout)
Capo on the 1st fret
Chords used:
Verse: follow the lyrics above and trade out this chord progression
C/G G Dm/F F/G
e|---3---|---3---|---3---|---3---|
B|---1---|---3---|---1---|---1---|
G|---0---|---0---|---2---|---2---|
D|---2---|---0---|---0---|---3---|
A|---3---|---2---|---0---|-------|
E|-------|---3---|-------|-------|
or if you dont like that third fret on the high e that Justin's guitarist plays
just play a regular C, G, Dm/F, F progression. The Dm/F is the only tricky one and
that would change to
Dm/F
|---1---|
|---1---|
|---2---|
|---0---|
|---0---|
|-------|
Pre Chorus:
Am G F G
And all that stuff it makes you feel real good, but not near as good
Chorus:
Again follow the lyrics above but use the progression: C, G, Am, F
