Live on 6/12/21. I’ve provided a link above to the official video he posted on YouTube. Enjoy!
 
(Note: Lining up the chord names with the lyrics was a little difficult in some spots. If you know the song
well, though, you should be able to play it without much trouble. It might help to follow along with the
video. Also, John always uses his thumb to fret notes on the low E string.)
