Notes: 1) I assume you've heard the song. 2) No capo - all chords are first position open. 3) For the C chords during the bridge, use a standard 1st position C but play the G on the high E string with the pinky so that the voicing moves more like the slide guitar on the album. 4) I finger the F#7b9 lick at the end of Chorus I like this: XX____ _XOOO_ |||||| first fret |||||| ------ -------| ||1111 ----> ||||---| wrapping the thumb ------ -------| makes it much easier |||2|3 (lift up '3'...) Tx|||3 to grab the G chord... ------ ------ (x = mute ; O = open) 5) The G->G/F#->Em and D(sus) stuff is very typical of Penn... I wish I had time to type in all the lovely twiddles and chord patterns, but this is the best I can do and still have a job... If you've heard the song, it'll be easy to figure out those details...
