Pay Attention
The Wood Brothers

This song is in the key of C major and is 3/4 time.
He uses pretty standard chord voicings.  The only one that
might be foreign to some would be the Gm9 which is played like this:

E|--5--|
B|--3--|
G|--3--|
D|--5--|
A|--5--|
E|--3--|

I usually play it without the root but that's just my preference.
Not sure how Oliver plays it each time through.  Anyhow, here's the song...

Intro:
