Ready For Love Acoustic Chords

D9 xx0230
Am/G 302210 use your pinky for the bass note (challenging but gets easier with practice)
D9/F# 2x0230
G/B 02033
 
- For the Am, it sounds good if you hammer on from an Am7 to an Am
- Likewise, you can hammer on from a D9 to a regular D
- Emphasize the baseline walking down at the end of the verse
- Especially emphasize the baseline walking down at the end of the choruses
- The chorus chords labeled G Am and C D are a single hit of the first chord
  and then finish the measure with the second chord. This matches how it is
  played on the recording. However, it sounds fine to just play the second chord
