Chords

This is a beautiful tune and one of my favorite songs, and I don't think the tabs out there do it justice... This is how I play it, I think it's fairly accurate. The song is standard tuning 3 steps down. Scott plays the main G chord of the verse with a C shape (with his pinkie finger on the 3rd fret of the high e string) so he can do the riffing with his 2nd finger without interrupting the chord. I know this from watching videos. You should strum and finger pick this however you like, I'm just going to give you the chords. "on the hills of both virginias..." G C(ish) G Riffing

                          this is the most important one to make the song
                          sound right in my opinion

Just play that over and over again. Use your own judgment on finger picking and stuff. Enjoy!
