Chords

I noticed that John plays the intro/main groove a ltittle bit differently than on the album version, it is also a good example on what the CAGED system is good for. These are the basic chord shapes that John uses:
   Am  G   C   F   D
e|-5-|-7-|-8-|-5-|-5-|
B|-5-|-8-|-5-|-6-|-6-|
G|-5-|-7-|-5-|-5-|-7-|
D|-7-|-5-|-5-|-7-|-7-|
A|-7-|---|-7-|-8-|-5-|
E|-5-|---|-8-|---|---|
As you can see this is a clever use of the CAGED system, you don't have to move around the neck to play these chords. [Intro]
