(use 1st & 3rd fingers for the slide part so you can slide down into Am easily)



Chorus (if you can call it that...)

The part in paranthesis is optional. It's the vocal part, it isn't played by the guitar 
in the song. I think it sounds good, but do whatever you feel like.

    G                                Am

I think he might bend some of the strings instead of sliding, but it's pretty difficult 
to bend a full step on a capo'd acoustic. He might be using a pedal steel guitar or something.

"ooooooooooo i guess i take after my mother"

He does some little random pull-offs and maybe some hammer-ons during the last few 
lines. You figure them out.

End on Am.
