**After each chord use your hand to slap the strings. It's
easiest if you leave your fingers curled in the same position
used for plucking the chords; trying to flatten your hand to
do the slapping can be frustrating if you've never tried it
before. You'd only need to open your hand if you wanted to
drum the body of the guitar. It sounds to me like Sarah is
hitting just the strings on this tune. And now back to our
regularly scheduled program...
Chorus Part I (combines guitar chords with mandolin part):
=============
D MajorD U D MajorD D MajorD D MajorD (1st and 2nd time)| (3rd time)
-3-3-3--3--0*----2--3--2--0--------|-2-3--0-2-3---
-3-3-3--3--3*----------------3-----|-----------3--
-0-0-0--0--0*----------------------|--------------
-0-0-0--2--0*----------------------|--------------
-2-2-2--3--3*----------------------|--------------
-3-3-3-----------------------------|--------------
(D=Downstrum, U=Up; let the * chord ring while playing the
2,3,3,0,3 which follow it)
D MajorD U D MajorD
-2*-x------2-3-5---5-3-2------
-3*-3--3-5-----3---3-----3----
-2*-2--2-------2---2----------
-0*-0--2-------0---0----------
------------------------------
------------------------------
(* form this chord with the index finger across the 2nd fret
of E,B, and 
G+G strings, and the middle finger on the B-string:
this allows you to hold the D MajorD chord while playing the other
melody notes.)
Chorus Part II:
===============
Cadd9Cadd9 Gadd5 D MajorD Amin
-3--------3-----2----0--
-3--------3-----3----2--
-0--------0-----2----3--
-2--------0-----0----3--
-3--------2-----x----0--
-x--------3-----x----x--
Bridge:
=======
There are a number of weaving melody lines being played here.
Try something like this to fill the space:
D MajorD 
C majorC (hold the C majorC until the voice kicks in)
Emin D MajorD C majorC D MajorD (repeat this line until the next chorus)
The electric guitar plays something like this over the Emin D MajorD
C majorC D MajorD part the 1st time:
-7---7---------------
---8-----7-8-7-------
-------9-------9-7-9-
---------------------
---------------------
---------------------
something like this will get you by the rest of the
repetitions of the Emin. D MajorD C majorC D MajorD part:
-7-----7-----7-----7-------7-----8--7--------
---8--8--8--8--8--8--7----7--7--7-------10---
-----9-----9-----9-----9-9-----9---9--9----9-
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
- back to the Chorus
- after the Chorus, hold a C majorC chord, then play the Verse to
the end
