About:
This is one of my favourite songs by Sam, and after about 4 years
I grew tired of there being no tabs for it. There are plenty of
videos online for you guys to get an idea of the chord patterns etc.
I play this on a nylon string and it sounds fine, so here goes...
Main Progression Secondary
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/sam_amidon/saro_tab.html ]
e-|----0--------3---------0-------0----|----2--------3----|
B-|----3------0h1---------3-------3----|----3--------3----|
G-|----0------0-0---------0-------0----|----2--------2----|
D-|----0------0h2---------0-------0----|----0--------0----|
A-|----3--------0-------0h2-------3----|----0------0h2----|
E-|------------------------------------|------------------|
For the closing part I pick the first chord, then switch to a plain
old downward strumming pattern for the final 3 chords. Remember to
hold that last one!
Closing
e-|----0--------0---0---0-------0-------0----|

Note:
Sam plays this differently on almost each performance I've seen,
often using his pinky to hit the 3rd fret on the high e string.
