I think Stephen's not doing that
And he's just playing a regular
[A] [Gm] He's [D] just playing a regular G there
But since it's tuned
Down [Gm] two steps
You have to hit it here to get the G note
[G]
So the easiest way to do that Really
Is cover these two notes
The [Eb] A, E and the A
At the fifth fret
[Em] And then the
The B [Am] and the E
At the third [G] fret
So you can get a chord like that
[D]
[A] [C] And that's really it
It's just those three chords
Rearranged in different orders
For the chorus and the verse and everything
But I guess the [G] trick is
This, if you watch
CSN videos you'll often see
Graham doing this chord
Quite a bit, cause this is how he plays His G's [D] Tunes that
