Interpretation by Stephen O?Hora
It?s played with some flourishes on the G chord at the end of each line, the ?G-C? is like:
|----3---3--3---3--3-| |--------------------| |--------------------| |-----------2------2-| |----2------3------3-| |-3--3---3------3----|
While on the ?G? it?s played much like this:
|----3---3--3---3--3-| |--------1------1----| |--------------------| |--------------------| |----2---------------| |-3--3---3--3---3--3-|
It?s easy to pick up when you listen to the song to get the rhythm right.
