I play this clean-tone on my electric, with lots of reverb.  All the chords
are barre chords.

I couldn't figure out a nice way of writing the rhythm, so I didn't.  The
verson above is one worked out by me and my vocalist, and i am not too
familiar with either the CJ or the VU versions, but this is what we do. I
humbly offer it for the acoustic guitar mailing list.
