This tab is for the acoustic version at the Grand Ole Opry.
Chords are Kip's exact position. There is a pattern of plucking Kip uses, it is usually the base note followed
by the rest.
And remember tuned down 1/2 step.

* This is where Kip's fingers are, it doesn't necessarily mean he is playing the note but if you feel like it
sounds better playing this particular note go for it.
** Kip plays the base note of the F chord then hammers on the 2nd fret,he also hammers on the first in the 2nd
time around in the chorus.
