=====================

This is played with a capo on the 3rd fret.
The F chord at all times is played with an open E string
(the light E string, not the heavy one).
In the chorus, he plays the barred C and G shapes i.e.
the C is played at the 11th fret etc.

In the verse, for the C chord pull off the E note to a D,
and for the first F chord pull off the A note to a G.

The F that ends each line has a little bit that goes
E-F-D-E  on the D string. It's easy.

The one part I wasn't 100% sure about is the first F in the
3rd and 4th lines of each verse. An F seems to work
fine, but on the record, you can hear a B note from
the bass. I guess it's just another of those brilliant
Red House Painter things! Genius! I'm sticking to my
F though.
