Verse: Dave plays this in his live acoustic versions with Tim Reynolds but because he’s
the best, Dave throws in tons of variations but I’ll just give you the basics and you can
fool around with it.
(Strum) listen to CD for rhythm

Then, before you go into the refrain, hold the strum for a ½ strum longer to lead into
the refrain
Hold and slide into refrain

Another version that I picked up was the live acoustic one. I think this is what Tim
Reynolds plays but I’m not totally sure, but it’ll just make the general sound of the
song come through more and you can layer it with extra color to make it sound really
good (good if you’re the only guitarist)

Dave’s part in the acoustic version above, you can use it to add lots of color and
harmony, or if you’re the only guitar in the song it provides a good bridge into
refrain, or just to add a little something extra J
(Let the Bass strings ring while you strum)
