My whole family done give up on me, it don't make me feel to sad.
The only one who'll hang out with me is my dear Old Grand-Dad

C D E

Yeah I drink alone.
There's a bit more going on in this than is written here as in
the alternating between the E to E7 and the hammer,
the E9 = XXO43O to D9 = XXO21O to Open = XXOOOO to E then E7
and the fingerings of the C and the D.
I'd recommend watching George and Jim at play for the nuances -
