In standard tuning, no capo. (Though I more often play it all half a step down
but thats due more to my personal obsession with this tuning than anything else)
The whole song is essentially just (same pattern for every verse).
--------------
Dsus2 G
Johnny lets go out riding to a place outside of town
Dsus2 G
I go there every Sunday to watch the sun go down
Dsus2 G
There's plenty of girls who know you, they've been asking where you've been
A G
Johnny don't dissapoint them, they'd all like to see you again
Dsus2 G
Willy I don't think im ready to leave this house of mine
Dsus2 G
You go out and tell them I'm not the social kind
Dsus2 G
Some men they are lovers and others the fighting type
A G
And me I'm in the middle of choosing which one I'd like..... to be
Dsus2 G
Judy she's out catching rides in passing cars
Dsus2 G
The memories of me and her have burned out like the stars
Dsus2 G
Me I'm not dissapointed knowing that she's free
A G
Somewhere down the line I knew she'd one day up and leave
Dsus2 G
Willy forget your troubles and lay back on the grass
Dsus2 G
There's no need to get nostalgic thinking about the past
Dsus2 G
What's gone is gone, what's here is now, she's standing by your fence
A G
She's wearing a beautiful party dress and wanting you to dance..... hey hey.
-----
But the real flavour of the song is in all the little runs and hammer-ons,
a lot of the time the first strum of the Dsus2 hammers on as below:
e|--0----|
B|--3----|
G|--0h2--|
D|--0----|
A|-------|
E|-------|
and at the end of the G (particularly in the instrumental sections)
there's often a run down on the D string something like this:
e|-----------------|
B|-----------------|
G|-----------------|
D|--4-4-4-4-2-0-0--|
A|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|
E|-----------------|
