[G#] Okay, [Fm] here we go.
[D]
Little flat top box, Tennessee flat top box.
Have a C chord.
[Fm] You start the lead [D] part [F#] [G] [Gm] by walking up the C chord.
You start [D] with a C note, [E] [F#] [G] [B] and I'm playing [D] that C note [G] on the third, on capo, and on the second fret.
So everything's [G#] relative to that.
So when I say third up, I'm third up from the [D] capo.
[E] [F#] [G] [D] [F#m] [G] [D] So that's [E] C note, open [F#] D, second fret, [Bm] third string, which is [G] E, and then [D] F.
[G] When I say strings, I mean 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, so counting from the low E here.
So
[A] the second [Bm] part is [G#m] from an A to a C and back to the A.
[B] So second fret, [F] third string, or fourth string, [D] first fret, fifth [Bm] string, [C#] [Cm] and then a walk down on the G [B] string.
[A] [G] So third, [Am] second, open.
[Bm] [A] So put [D] those two [E] together, [G]
[A] [Am] and then the slide part is fourth fret, [C#]
[Gm] fourth string, middle finger on the [G#] fourth string, fourth fret,
ring finger on the fifth string, fourth fret, and you play them [C#] both together, [Bm] and then slide [C#] them to the [Bm] fifth.
And [A#m] then when you slide them [D] up, you [C#]
[D] [A#] pick them [C#] individually.
[D]
[A] And then you lift your middle finger off, and you play that G string open [C#] twice.
[D] [C#] [D]
[F#m] [A] And then you just go from [D] everything on the walk down the G string here.
[Cm] [B] [A]
[G] [Dm] So fifth, [Cm]
[Bm] third, second, [A] [D] open.
[Cm] [B] [A]
[G] And then you do it all over again.
[A]
[D] [B]
[A] [G] [B] And then he does that twice, and then the [G] second time he goes, [E] [D] which is a walk down, opposite [A#] of what you did in the beginning.
[D] In the beginning you went, [G] [A#m] and this, [G] on the end you do, [Em] [D] and then you do a [D#] little hammer on when [D] you play the C chord.
That's [C#] just hammering [B] on the A, [D] back [B] to the C.
[D]
The strum pattern is just,
[A]
[D] [G#]
so I did that a little off, [D] awkwardly, so
[A]
[D]
that's [C#] it.
