Chords for Barton Hollow - The Civil Wars - Tutorial

_ _ Hello, today we are doing a tutorial of how to play Barton Hollow by the Civil Wars.
_ It's really pretty simple, fun to play.
So, first thing we're going to learn is that it needs to be played in dadgad, which is an alternate tuning from standard. _
And it's pretty self-explanatory.
The strings are tuned as follows.
D, [A] A, [D] G, [G] _
G, [D] D, _ D. _ Dadgad.
So, _ _ most of the song revolves around playing that D5 in dadgad.
So, you're going to put your pointer finger on the second fret of the G string. _ _
_ _ And there you go, that's your D. _
So, I'm going to play the main _ guitar part in the song _ first at speed, and then we'll explain it later and slow it down too.
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] So, let's go through _ what exactly is going on in that.
So, _ [Gb] it's real simple.
Basically, your pointer finger is going to [A] stay here the whole time on that D.
And you're just going to be moving around a couple other things _ along the way.
So, [C] first place that you're going to put your finger is your ring finger on the third fret of this high A string.
_ Right there.
So, that first part [D] is_
[Gb] Okay.
_ _ _ _ [N] And then you're going to do _ on the lower A string, also on the third fret with your middle finger, _ right after that.
So, all together that's going to [A] _ be_
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ Okay.
[Bb] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ And then the next part right after that is you're going to move your middle finger down one string, also going to be on the third fret of this [F] D string here.
[D] _ _
[Gb] Okay.
_ _ So, slow.
Let's do the whole thing together.
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] Alright, so the bridge of the song is pretty simple too.
I'll play it at speed and then we'll [Gb] explain it.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ So, _ what's going on there _ is you're playing up here on the _ _ seventh fret of the G string.
You're going to put your pointer finger there and then your middle finger on the low D [Bb] string on the eighth fret. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] And then the next chord is real simple.
You just lift off your middle finger [D] _
and _ leave your pointer finger on there.
[N] _
_ _ _ So, and he also does this cool little tapping thing.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Db] Okay, so you're going to do that.
It's kind of just a good way to keep time. _
And then _ those last couple chords that's going on [Bb] there, after you've come from here,
now you're going to go to this [A] chord, _ _ _ [N] which is you're just sliding your pointer finger down one fret to the sixth fret of the G string.
And then your middle finger is going to go on the seventh fret of that middle D [A] string. _
_ _ And then you'll slide down _ _ here, which is [Bb] your middle finger on the second fret of the [G] middle D string.
And then your _ ring finger on the second fret of that _ [F] G string.
And [A] then right after that, it goes back into the main riff. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ Okay, the only part left is this little octave walk down at the end of the song.
So, I'm going to play it at speed and then we'll explain it.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
Okay, so what's going on there is basically _ _ you're playing [Ab] octaves on _ the _ [D] fifth string _ _ and the third string.
_ _ Starting on the fifth and seventh fret. _ _
[Gm] And then you're going to move down to the third and fifth [C] fret. _
_ _ _ Two and four.
[Bm] _ _ [B] _
And then one [Bb] and three.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ Okay, so_ _
[C] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ Okay, pretty easy.
And then [Ab] that last part that it does is _ _ _ you're just right [A] here, that one chord that we played earlier.
And then you're going to put your ring finger _ up here on the third fret of that G string.
_ [A] _
_ It's really tension-y, kind of a cool chord.
And then you resolve back to it. _ _ _ _
And then end on a D.
[D] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ So, I hope that helps.
