Getting this strum down takes practice so get at it!


This is the upstairs version


marc11 - 2005-12-05

how do you play this chord:
-0
-0
-9
-9
-2 <--------whose hand is big enough to stretch 7 frets?
-9


jschuc - 2005-12-17

You all have good versions of this song and God bless you all
BUT
If you really want to know how to play it, buy "an evening with Shane and shane" You can get it anywhere.

IT HAS A GUITAR LESSON BY SHANE BANARD!!!


jesseha - 2006-02-02

U can get that 2 not by stretching 7 frets of course but by using a cut capo as suggested on the top


Gtr4daKING - 2006-09-20

Actually guys and girls, they use a cut-capo on the second fret. No tuning down. They also use weird chords high on the neck. like: verse

FT.8 9 10
e[---I---I---]
B[---I---I---]
G[-*-I---I---]
D[---I---I---]
A[---I---I---]
E[---I-*-I---]

7 8 9
e[---I---I---]
B[---I---I---]
G[---I-*-I---]
D[---I---I---]
A[---I---I---]
E[-*-I---I---]

e[---I---I---]
B[---I---I---]
G[-*-I---I---]
D[-*-I---I---]
A[---I---I---]
E[---I---I-*-]

4 5 6
e[---I---I---]
B[---I---I---]
G[-*-I---I---]
D[---I---I---]
A[---I---I---]
E[---I-*-I---]

~it's actually a pretty easy song once you learn the chords
I'll try and submit a tab for it soon and ya'll can see if
if it's right.


Gtr4daKING - 2006-09-20

oops! chord 3 is supposed to be Fret 4-5-6. sorry!
