Chords
Catch the F# of the D chord with your thumb.
On the G-omit chords, use your pinky and index finger to walk down through them. Keep ring finger anchored
on b string 3rd fret.
Use middle and index fingers to walk quickly down or up as shown, through last 4 chords
in the 4th bar each time ending on G5th or the C and picking it back up in tempo while keeping ring finger
anchored on b string, 3rd fret
Use what is shown and adjust it to fit the rest of the verses and repeat.
Play around with it till you get the timing or just use the G chord during intro, verses and outro.
The G chord fits nicely by itself too.
Not worried about perfection. Have fun with it to the best of your ability.
Use the numbers shown; 1 2 3 1 2 3 to count to yourself while playing
to help get the feel for it and get a doubletime strum going.
Kind of nice twist on Mr Bojangles it seems.
