tuning : standard

like a lot of country songs the lead guitar plays a huge role in defining
the song , but here i chose to only write out the chords in an arrangement
for a single acoustic guitar player . there are some quick changes , which
i refer to as “accent chords” but you’ll get the idea . just listen to the
song for the timing and the changes .

key :
/ = slide up
= slide down
B = bend ( whole step )
b^ = bend ( 1/2 step )
b^^ = bend ( 1 1/2 steps )
pb = pre – bend
r = release – bend
t^ = tap with righthand finger
h = hammer – on
p = pull – off
~ = vibrato
* = natural harmonic
# ( # ) = trill
* * = artificial harmonic
x = dead notes ( no pitch )
p . m . = palm mute ( – – > underneath indicates which notes )
( ) = dive war
( / ) = release war
tp = tap wplectrum
