of slapping going on. And improv. And timing. Well here goes..

D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-5-5-5---5h3---------------------------------------------------------------|

just before the first chorus (00:40) it goes
G|---6-6-7-8-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
