Tim McGraw,  "Book Of John"

This is a "D down":
e|--3--p2---2---0---0h2--|
B|--3-------3---3---3----|
G|--2-------2---2---2----|
D|--0-------0---0---0----|
A|--0-------0---0---0----|
E|--x-------x---x---x----|

There are also several other hammer-ons and pull-offs withing the chords
that are played at times, and not at other times. Doing all of them takes
some practice. I suggest starting with the D down, and adding the others one at a time.
