NOTES:


The transcription is pretty close to what Larry does.? However, he tends to
change what he does from verse to verse.


Larry likes to tune his guitar down about three half steps.


Pinky finger stays on high "E" string for all chords during the verse except
the last chords D7 and D7add2.


1=Thumb
2=Index finger
3=middle finger
4=Ring finger
5=Pinky


This transcription is largely based on the live performance of this song from
the video "LIVE AND KICKING."
