Original author: AmyRayFan 103 (Ultimate Guitar version 2) Modifications: Wheezy E To follow the recording: Standard tuning / Capo 2 Easier for guys to sing: Tune a whole step down [DGCFAd] / No capo This version is very similar to versions 1, 2, and 3, but I wanted to format this tab for ease of playability since the song is so fast and has such an interesting meter. Most chords are "pinky top-string bar" versions of major chords. However, I find it easiest to not pinky-bar anything (just put two separate fingers on each fret 3 string) in order to allow quicker switching of the different D chords. Also note the similarity of D11 and C (you can slide the same shape up and down the neck). Side-note: There's a mandolin and penny-whistle hiding in there too.
