Intro/main feel:
Uploaded by : James W
It's a simple D-->C-->G-->F progression. On the fourth time playing this you kind of
stall on the G. Listen to a recording for the timing. I'll tab it out this week!
Chorus:
D------------>C---------------------------------------------->D---------
Shakedown you know you want to kick it with your old friends
C--------------------------------->D-----------
with everybody chillin' on the front porch
C-------------------------D-->C-->G-->F
how am I supposed to live?
then there is little bridge that strummed in a reggae like style that goes:
D--->G--->A
Then verse 2: same D-C-G-F as the first.
Helpful chords:
D C G or G* F A
