Chords
This isn't perfect, I'm fairly sure there are two guitars on the recording for this as well
and I've only figured out the basics. There's also a lot of improvisation going
on so hopefully this gives you the baseline and you can play around with it a bit.
The chords are loosely based around C7, D and G, but with the F# throwing everything slightly out
and making it sound nice.
TUNING: E-A-D-F#-B-d
CAPO: 1st fret
This might not be the real tuning, but it allows you get the hammer-on with the F# -> G in the
opening C7 chord. The top d is optional, this could be an e if you can't be bothered to tune it down.
