NOTE: The song sounds better if you add these variations to E: 0 2 2 1 0 4 and 0 2 2 1 0 2 and then the usual 0 2 2 1 0 0 So, while strumming you can move down the E string with your pinkie. Listen to the record to see what I mean. (from The Harder They Come soundtrack, 1972) (sent by Harlan at harlant@hawaii.edu)
