"The universe is just too darned orderly to be one big accident!"

Rick:  Allow me to be the second person to thank you for your service to our country.

And let me APOLOGIZE to you, that I am ONLY the second person to thank you for your service to our country.

That is nothing short of shameful.  We should never take such things for granted.  The VA is a good organization which IMO should be better funded.  Glad you're getting what you need from it.

Beer is in a class by itself.  Apologies for not being clear on that point.

OK.  Much better.  I was seriously (and honestly) confused.

I recall seeing something like this for sale some 40 years ago on a late-night TV commercial, but don't remember what it was called.  Maybe this was it.

This?

No offense, but the best invention EVER?

Really?

I got this one.  Since you like the song so much, and since we like hearing you play it, how about simply:

"Creep"

It's sure to leave all the newbies guessing.

  I WIN!

EDIT:
If I ever became a moderator, my title would be:  "MODERATE THIS, B*****S!"

It might be a good thing I'm not a moderator.  Feel free to use it. 

Hi Jem and welcome to the forum.

Do you have a link to a recording of the song?

Here it is.  Never heard the song before so I can't tell you how accurate it is.

Welcome to the forum.

You're welcome.

Some people call this way of designating chords the "Nashville Number System".  Here's a short Wikipedia article on it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville_number_system

Once you decide what key you want to play the song in, that becomes the "1".  All of the other numbers follow the notes in the scale for that key.  The 6 will usually be flagged as "m" because the 6 is the relative minor of the 1 (the key).

rotoiti is correct;  those whould be the chords for the key of G.

If you want to play it in C, then:
C D E F G Am
1 2 3 4 5 6m.

You're welcome.  Gotta work out your MITs and TIMs, eh?

Once upon a time I was a banjo player myself.  Good luck.

That link didn't work, so I used this one:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys0aLmn4NWE

I can't tell which fret his capo is on.  Looks like maybe 4, which has me thinking he may be tuned down a couple of half steps.

I say that because when I use standard tuning and capo on TWO, this is what I hear:
D (2 beats)
G (2 beats)
D (2 beats)
G (2 beats)
D (2 beats)
G (2 beats)
D (2 beats)
G (2 beats)
Em (8 beats)

I think this is repeated pretty much throughout the song.  If not it should at least get you started.
