Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I’ve tabbed this requested song using footage of Damien Jurado’s performance at this link:
https://youtu.be/bjit97UPEe4 so it uses acoustic chords, but translates fine to the studio (electric)version.
You’ll see from his performance how he pulls off and hammers on the first finger of the D chord
as he switches between the Dsus4* and the D, and the timing of that.
Then it’s a simple run down to the Csus2 and G/B chords and full circle back to the D combo.
Note that he mixes a couple of verses around and also adds a couple in his live version,
so I’ve reproduced the original studio version here.

Five miles in the walk you already want to do them in
[Chorus]
