xTune the guitar to a dropped D (lower the low E to a low D) Most of the song is
played on the D chord -
E|---------|--2--2--|
B|---------|--3--3--|
G|---------|--2--2--| ETC...
D|---------|--0--0--|
A|---------|--0--0--|
D|5--3^--0-|--0--0--|
If you play often with Dropped D, you know how to play the funky notes after
they sing the chorus. Here are some ways to play them -
E|--2--..-----0-----0--|--2--..------------------------2--|
B|--3--..-----3-----3--|--3--..------------------------3--|
G|--2--..-----0-----0--|--2--..------------------------2--|
D|--0--..-----0-----0--|--0--..------------------------0--|
A|--0--..--3-----2-----|--0--..------------------------0--|
D|--0--..--------------|--0--..--5--3--3--3--5--3^--0--0--|
The D chord with the ".."'s after it means to strum that chord as you want. This
isn't a note-for-note transcription, its just to give you some ideas.
Here is the rest of the song- (chords are tabbed at the end)
