Any notes in brackets are not played so dont worry too much about fretting them.
The song is played using travis picking throughout.
This is how John Plays the song live. You need some big hands for the chords at the end of the chorus,
So it would be much easier to play the chords from version 3 for the end of the chorus if thats a problem.
Important!: John plays 2 versions of E in this song. The chord written above as E* is played only during the
Chorus. The 2 versions of D#m7 are played for 1 measure with 2 beats D#m7, 1 beat D#m7*, and 1
Beat D#m7.
