Capo 1 to play these chord shapes with the official recording.
Chords with an asterisk indicate a single pluck.
Notes in parentheses are individual walking notes.
(C E G C) indicates a walkup of the full arpeggiated C chord.
C/B is a walk-down between C and Am7 on the A string
Where I have C/E followed by G, I think what I am hearing is a pluck and
hammer onto xx201x, followed by a pluck of the 3 open strings (xx000x).
