[Note]
 Isbell frequently hammers on an Fmaj7 in this song. He starts in Fmaj7,
 lifts his 2nd finger — making an Fmaj9 — and hammers back to the Fmaj7. 
 I've indicated that with (h) in the verses. He also does that in the 
 intro and bridges.

[Note]

Isbell frequently hammers on an Fmaj7 in this song. He starts in Fmaj7,

lifts his 2nd finger — making an Fmaj9 — and hammers back to the Fmaj7.

I've indicated that with (h) in the verses. He also does that in the

intro and bridges.
