_ _ instead of down down _
_ _ Pluck down first the pluck [A] will take place of the first down
_ _ Down down down down down down down down

_ Okay, and this easy version you start with the basically to be G
Open chords any any beginner or anybody you've been playing for a year or two
Knows you got G.

Got E minor and some D.
I believe that's it okay
So you start off with just gonna be strumming little intro strumming back and forth between the G
And the E minor you put a bass note in there if you want [Gb] start it off.
Okay, so let's do that G to E minor
[Bb] _
_ _ _ little instrumental this for maybe a
couple [Gm] bars
_ _ _ Okay, E minor
Go back to G
_ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ Using my thumb now just so you can get in the camera _
[Gm] _ And then you go to G and do the first
first lyrics
_ _ _ [Bb] Hey little girl is your daddy home.

[Eb] _ _
Got a [Gm] bad desire to E minor _

[Bb] _ _ _ Okay, and in the middle maybe at the end you want to do the
_ The ooh part some people might call it yodeling
When do that part you think it feels alright to you do is a G to E minor
It's kind of good to break up the break up the lyrics a little bit
_ I'm on the G ready _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
E minor
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And hold as long as you can
[Bb] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ And I get ready to go to it kind of like a little course
[Bb] Sometimes it's like someone took the knife baby.
Yeah, Jim.
Don't put a six-inch valley through there
Okay, so that part I stay on all those lyrics
I stay on the G the whole time until you get to the word middle six inch [Gm] valley through the middle of my soul
And I go to eat minor on the word middle
[Bb] And such G sometimes I feel like someone took a knife baby edgy and all member down down up down up down down
up down up

_ Take a nice deep breath in between these you can get the you know
You can try to carry the note for a while as you're strumming
Quietly breathe in and get ready to try to knock this one out
