the last song on southern rock opera is quite simple to play . the verses are a standard
chord progression , the chorus a four chord , but with a twist .

the song is in 3/4 time

the verses go D , A , Em , Em
the chorus goes D , A , C , Em

the twist is that your ring finger should never come off of the 3rd fret of the 2nd
( the D ) throughout the song . as such , the chord fingerings are like this :

D x – x – 0 – 2 – 3 – 2 – |
A x – 0 – 2 – 2 – 3 – 0 – |
C x – 3 – 2 – 0 – 3 – 0 – |
Em 0 – 2 – 2 – 0 – 3 – 0 – |

one tip on the verses is that the first Em is hit on the low strings , with the 2nd on
high string , but with the same fingering . listen to the recording to hear what i mean .
