This is how I play the song at my solo acoustic shows. When we do a full show, the other
guitarist plays the First and Third solos, because I don't know them, so they wont be
tabbed. However, the song sounds very natural with out either of them. Just go right
into the lyrics and skip that part.
**Tuned Half-Step Down**
**Note** When Strumming, Accents can make or break this song. It's important to listen
to the track to get it down.

There is an asterisk by the D. This is because this is what I call the D Turnaround. He
uses it nearly every time he plays the D Chord. I'll continue putting the asterisk for that.
Play this once. Then get a strum going for behind the whistle and first solo. He plays
through these chords once more then goes into the chords for the chorus. Easy strum
Pattern once you get the hang of it. Follow a recording, its easy to Hear.

He Does this once Then does it again This time he "Stutter Strums" The D Chord. He hits
it four times very fast then does the turn around. He Stutters four times then goes back
to the verse.

Outro Verse Strum Chords. You can mute them for a few strums if you want. It seems to
put the GNR edge in if you do.
