This is a song I learned how to play in a day. But what a beauty. One of my favorite This is a version that I think sounds great, but you can do whatever kind of variation on song which makes it all the better. The Chords are D D/F# G Gb (but my version) I put the capo on the 1st or 2nd fret but again, its very universal so you figure that out.

Through the progression, all i do is pull my finger up the strings. Follow the tabs and just feel it out. The ~~~~~~ means to hold out note. Maybe sing a little. Maybe throw a little country twang to some of the good parts. Enjoy!
