This is originally played on the banjo but I
managed to play it on guitar I just had to
to tune it differently.

Tuning: Open G
DGDGBD
This song is technically played
in open G tuning but I like to tune it slightly
lower to give it a deeper more authentic sound

There isn’t much played in the song, it is just repeated but there are a few different 
parts, this is the first one

D|---------7-5---|
B|---6---------6-| This is repeated thought the whole song
G|-----7---------| and doesn’t change much
D|-5-----5-------|
G|---------------|
D|---------------|

Then after this part comes in this, which can
be played two different ways, they sound
similar but I’ll let you decided.

1st one
D|---------7-5---|
B|---6---------6-|
G|-----7---------|
D|-8-----8-------|
G|---------------|
D|---------------|

2nd one
D|-----------8------|
B|---10--------8-10-|
G|------10----------|
D|-8-------8--------|
G|------------------|
D|------------------|

Then comes in this bridge thing part and it
gets a little difficult to play but it is doable

D|---------3--5-----------3--5---------3-5-|
B|---1---1------1---1---1------1---1-------|
G|-----2--------------0--------------0-----|
D|-0--------------2--------------3---------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|

D|-------5-5--------3-5-----------3-5------|
B|---3--------1---1-----1---1---1-----1----|
G|--------------2-------------0------------|
D|-5---5-----0----0-------2----------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|

D|---------3-----------5-5-----------3-----|
B|---1---1---------3-----------1---------1-|
G|-----2-------0-----------5-----2---------|
D|-3-----3---0---5---5-------0-----0---0---|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|

D|---------3-5---------3-5-----------5-5---|
B|---1---1-----1---1-------0---3---------0-|
G|-----0-------------0-------------0-------|
D|-2-----2-------3-----------5---5---------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|

D|---------3-5---------3-5-----------3-5---|
B|---1---------1---1-------1---1---------0-|
G|-----2-------------0-----------0---------|
D|-0-----0-------2-----------3-----3-------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|

D|-----------------------------------------|
B|---3-----3-------------------------------|
G|-------0---------------------------------|
D|-5---5-----0-----------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|

Then after this is just goes back and repeats, so there
is not much to this song, but what there is, is a bit
difficult to learn. If you listen to the song it will
be easy to match up the parts. Enjoy :]
