Notes: In this video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=euVyT0Qbl0k), Isbell plays the song on a guitar tuned down 1/2 step. In the intro, he uses his index finger on the A and D strings to play the riff. Because he's playing a single bass note followed by strumming the top three strings, he plays the G chord as 3xx033 and the Em7 chord as x2x033. Throughout, he uses the chord voicings shown in the chords below.
