Capo 1
 
The main riff in the verse is a classic bass-note strum country style riff involving hitting
the open A string followed by a quick downstroke then upstroke on the first three notes
of the A chord; A (5th string open) E (4th string, 2nd fret) & A (3rd string, 2nd fret)
then hitting the low E (6th string open), then again followed by a quick downstroke then
upstroke on the first three notes of the A chord; A (5th string open) E (4th string, 2nd fret)
& A (3rd string, 2nd fret). This pattern repeats through the verses.
