Basic chords progression: G-C-G, G-C-D, C-G-Am-Em, C-D-G
Jim plays this solo acoustic, so make sure to keep the rhythm on the bass notes, especially the G.
Also, he picks around a good bit, but the one repeated riff I can make out (while playing the G) is:
e-G-------------
B--------------
G--------0-----
D---0h2--------
A--------------
E--------------
GI wanna tell you I need you but that soCunds so cGliché
GThe grass is always greener on the otheCr side anDyway
CWhy do I vGalue our time now that it's Emdone
CRollin' down the Dhillside sGong
GRollin' down the hillside just Cplayin' like two Gkids
GIn this grown up world, you're Call I understooDd
CAt the top of the Ghillside we were standin' Emon
CRollin' down the Dhillside sGong
GYou in the moonlight and Cme in the darGk
GNight after night, we did aClways have that spDark
CWhat about the Gmusic we made so Emstrong?
