all chords relative to capo
/ = down strum
\ = up strum
o = all strings open (if preceding Dsus2, then strings 1-4 open,
if preceding A, then strings 1-5 open, if preceding G, then 1-6
open)
note: The last line "the friends he'd made" is a typical Andersonian
chord-morph. You should play with the fingering until you find
a combination which moves the fewest fingers at one time. Anderson
likes to keep one finger planted and change the chords around it. In
this case, I think he does the following. He plants the 3rd finger of
the left hand as he changes from Dm to A7sus4. Am to C, he plants the
1st finger. C to Cadd9 he lifts the 3rd and places 2nd on the 6th
string, keeping the 1st and 4th fingers planted.
