Capo: 3

This is exactly how Ben Rector plays it live. You can add hammer on's to the C, Em, and D to make it sound more authentic. Hammer on with your middle finger for the C and D chords, and your pointer for the Em. Chords can be played regularly (open) or as written below to follow the song more closely. All chords are relative to the capo. *Capo 3 C: 33201x G: 30000x (can also be played as 32000x occasionally throughout the song although Ben does not) Em: 022000 D: 55402x Intro: C G Em D C G D G Verse: (C G Em D C G D G) x2
