Chords with lyrics
The acoustic guitar here is in dropped-D tuning (DADGBE). NB A augmentedA tip for
playing it - the top E MajorE string is mostly avoided apart from the motif
that connects the verses, which goes something like:
-----3---5---2-
-----3---5---3-
--/4--/6-------
-----------0---

I had a go at tabbing the slide part, but I quickly realised I haven't
a clue about playing slide (which doesn't help when you're trying to
transcibe Ry Cooder!). Does anybody else want to try?- if it's any
help, I'd be reasonably certain that it's in either open D MajorD or open E MajorE
tuning.
Corrections and comments welcome, as always...
