Opening lick is a pick-up on Beat-4 (based on C-chord in eighth position)

Stumbling rhythm has accents on 2 and 3+ thus:

> > >

[1] [+] [2] [3] [+] [4] [1] [2] [+] [3] [+] [4]

[/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/]

Main guitar plays Fmaj7/A throughout, but only the

gliss strum on Beat-1 produces the bass note clearly.

Open 1st-string occasionally forms G6

h = hammer on

Vocal melody is phrased differently in VERSE-B sections

and progression is played entirely in first position.
