Great song by Andy. Focus the strumming on the upper 4 strings for a sound closest to his.
He uses a lot of subtle chord changes and variations, some of which I haven't been able to
figure out completely, primarily because he uses a different tuning.
But these chords are pretty close, and are certainly close enough for a campfire sing-along.
please send them my way so I can update the chords. Have fun.

Great song by Andy. Focus the strumming on the upper 4 strings for a sound closest to his.

He uses a lot of subtle chord changes and variations, some of which I haven't been able to

figure out completely, primarily because he uses a different tuning.

But these chords are pretty close, and are certainly close enough for a campfire sing-along.
