"Sweet Evening Breeze"
                                 by John Mellencamp


    This a lesser-known tune off the "Human Wheels" album, but a fun one to
play acoustic.  It oscillates between meditative picking and exciting
strumming.  Notice my naming conventions with D/Dsus2 and D/Dsus4 below.
    Enjoy.

     *if you can get the above, you can surely make up a similar picking
      pattern for the C majorC and E minorEm progressions which are next.
