version 2
THIS CAN BE PLAYED IN THE Eb STANDARD
you want to do this, just Capo 3rd instead of 2nd. Oh, and please don’t mind my chord
I’m lazy. They’ll be notated as if no capo is present.
Tuning: Standard w/ CAPO 2nd
Intro: Listen for rhythm. It’s like a country two-step feel, so hit the bass notes on
own, then stress the higher strings on the strumming. This is especially important on the
tones, like the E/F# and the A2/B.

*The F#/G# isn’t critical, it’s a quick switch anyways, so you could just play the G#
on its own, then head to the A2 to simplify it.

Bridge?: (O:53) Fuller strumming, don’t worry about hitting bass notes like before, just
the rhythm right.
