Lonely East TX Nights by Whiskey Myers

This is a great tune by one of my favorite TX bands.

The Em7 in this tune can be easily replaced with an Em if you prefer. The D in this song is accented
with a Dsus2 and Dsus4 pattern (D - Dsus2 - Dsus4 - D) or (D - Dsus2 - D - Dsus4). 
Whichever you prefer.

Note: Use variation 4 of the Cadd9 (G w/ upper fingers dropped one string). ENJOY!!!

Tuning: Standard
