[code] Pay Attention The Wood Brothers This song is in the key of C major and is 3/4 time. He uses pretty standard chord voicings. The only one that might be foreign to some would be the Gm9 which is played like this: E|--5--| B|--3--| G|--3--| D|--5--| A|--5--| E|--3--| I usually play it without the root but that's just my preference. Not sure how Oliver plays it each time through. Anyhow, here's the song...
