Chords

Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel) Live at Jittery Joe's (1997/2001) He plays some variation of this in between the verses, mixing them somewhat randomly with the chords I placed above each part of the riff. Just do whatever sounds best to you, as long as you play those notes in some way and then end it on a D chord, you've got it right.
   (G)   (C)         (G)          D

E|--3-----------------3--3-3-2-0--------|
I'll mark where you play this with an asterisk in parentheses, like so: (*) Also, his guitar is pretty sharp throughout the entire album, so if you want to play along with the original recording for practice, tune your guitar about 20-30 cents sharp from standard tuning and it'll harmonize well with his. [Verse 1]
