here's how it sounds when I play it...warning...poor recording through a $5 mic placed 8 ft from my amp.

I stumbled upon the bridge chords when trying to learn Answering Machine...its all relative.

ok, here's what I got. it sounds good to me, and I have not started drinking, yet.

fingering low to high on open G tuning with capo on 2nd fret. assuming you all know how the song goes...

x0003x x0243x | x5x03x x5x23x | xx023x xx043x

then I like to use the x02010 | 02xxxx 04xxx for the base as it bakes it easier to sing while playing.

Now, I just need the "spendin' all my dough" part....

hope this helps !! time to let the bad guys win.

ok, i should have checked this before posting at first, but there is no need for the (2 fingering on the D string) in any of the chords. Additionally, instead of xx023x | xx043x just work the low E string to get the righ tone by using 020030 | 020430

sorry about any confusion. you get what you pay for.
