Southbound (100 Miles) – Ben Barnes (from Jackie & Ryan)
It sounds best if you play an E7 instead of a normal E chord and hammer your pinky on and pull the string down
a little on the 3rd fret on the B string, same with the Am chord, to achieve that typical country style.
In the original song, the guitars are transposed one step down, but i think they play the same chords.
So, either transpose the song, or tune your guitar one step down.
