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...
