Submiited by: Oree

Tuning: E MajorE Standard

Main
Just vary the notes on the high E MajorE string to get most the "verses."

Chorus
Time signature switches in the middle from 4/4 to 3/4, but it's pretty intuitive.

The strumming patterns are a little odd and the time signature change might throw you
off, count like this:

1-2-3-4,1-2-3-4,1-2-3-4,1-2

You can other just do normal strumming or you can try to copy the mandolin's more
organic pattern. Listen to the actual track to get it.

That's about it for the acoustic guitar. Maybe if I get the energy I'll transcribe the
mandolin. For now, good luck and have fun.
