Brad Paisleys Live CMA Performance
Tabbed by Aaron Gallagher of www.FreeandEasyGuitar.com
Video Lesson of this song coming soon at www.FreeandEasyGuitar.com
Based off Mitch Rossells cover of this song

Dropped D tuning

Remember with dropped D remember your G chord bass note is now on the 5th fret of 
your low E string, use your ring finger to play that 5th fret low E and your pinky 
to play 5th fret A string.  Then Your pointer finger covers 3rd fret on the B and Hi E strings.

The riff I refer to at the end of the first verse lines and 3rd verse is at the end of the tab.
