**It should be noted that on several Em chords throughout the song, Dustin Kensrue uses 
hammeron that goes like this:


e--------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------|
G--------------------------------------------|
D---------------------0------2h--------------|
A------0-----2h------------------------------|
E--------------------------------------------|
       3     +        4      +


The strum pattern goes something like this:
[A number(1,2,3, or 4) means a down stroke, and a plus sign means an upstroke,
also a dash indicates a "miss" or unstrummed arm swing. Basically, 1+2+3+4+ translates 
one measure and is said aloud as "one and two and three and 4 and...",
while 1-2+3+4- would be said aloud as "one miss two and three and 4 miss..."]

1-2--+4+1-2

When using the hammer-on, it looks like this:
1-2--+4+1-2-      3+4+

The part on the far right, the 3+4+ is the hammer-on notes.


As you always should, listen to the song and compare with this, I'm certain this is accurate.
