I like to play this capo 4. I play the descending line with a C/B instead of the B. That mirrors Wilco's "Jesus, Etc." almost exactly (the difference being the fourth chord (this progression goes to a G, Tweedy to an E).

When Jackson Brown does this, he adds a walk up with an 'e' - 'f' after "these days, these days" where it resolves from the F to the G, while pausing on that G chord, singing "days", so it goes like this Fmaj7. G. E. F these days-these days.. play the G chord then add the E and F in rhythm. I hope that is understood. there's a guy on YouTube that I saw do it. sounds nice.
