Generally, for the G to Cadd9 transitions, hammer on the C bass first and then add the E on the next strum.
The G to D transitions use an A hammer-on. There's a bass run for the G Cadd9 G turn: G, A-B-C, B-A-G
Cadd9 G Honey put down that flyswatter Cadd9 G And pour me some ice water Cadd9 G And would you bring me my hammer D And could you find me some nails C G For soon I'll be going Cadd9 G To work for this living Cadd9 G And with you here to guide me D G Then I cannot fail
Cadd9 G
Cadd9 G The morning it stumbles Cadd9 G Right in through the window Cadd9 G And this getting up early D Gets old anyway C G And if you listen close dear Cadd9 G The crying that you hear Cadd9 G Is the nighttime lamenting D G The start of the day
Cadd9 G
Cadd9 G And it's hotter than concrete Cadd9 G In July in Houston Cadd9 G And it'll get worse here D Before it turns nice C G But old Tink's in the backyard Cadd9 G And I swear that boy's so smart Cadd9 G He's got everything ready D G So we'll be all right
Cadd9 G
Cadd9 G So honey put down that flyswatter Cadd9 G And pour me some ice water Cadd9 G And though I'll soon be going D Well I haven't gone yet C G So come stand here beside me Cadd9 G And hold my hand gently Cadd9 G And tell me do you remember D G The first time we met
Cadd9 G
