Chords for George Strait's "Troubadour"- Guitar Instructional

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Hey everyone, it's John again.
Today we're going to do the song Troubadour by George Strait.
_ _ _ This song is in the key of B, _ but we play it in a G formation, and it makes it so much easier if we use a fifth before it.
So, we're going to put a capo on the fourth fret, _ right here, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] and play it in a G formation.
Now the intro to the song is [Db] actually pretty easy.
It sounds like this.
_ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ That's it.
[Eb] What I'm doing is I'm taking my first finger and I'm hammering the second fret of my third string from the top, _ [Db] which is [B] your D string.
_ And _ while _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] I'm doing that, I'm also playing my G string, right here, [B] playing them together. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So I go, _ [Gb] _ and I play it open.
_ [Ab] _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ Now I'm going to take my second finger [N] and I'm going to put it on the third fret of my E string, _ [E] _ _
right there.
And I'm going to play [Db] that note while also playing my D string. _
So those two strings. _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
Now I'm going to take my first finger and I'm going to put it on the second fret of my A [Ebm] string, _ _ _ [B] right there.
So we _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[E] have_
_ [Ebm] _ _ Now I'm going to play both strings [B] open, my _ A [Db] and my D string. _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ And now I'm going to play G [B] chord.
_ _ I'm going to play the [A] intro in the song and give you a comment on how it sounds.
_ [B] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[N] So you get an idea of how it goes into the verse.
_ Now let's talk about how it's going to go into the chorus.
_ After we're done with the chorus, you're going to play the intro part actually a little bit.
So I'll just play the chorus and go into the intro and show you how it comes in.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] When I wrote it in on the song, _ [E] I'll be an old Jupiter _ _ when [B] I'm gone. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Just like that. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ And you're going to play that at the end of the chorus and then you go back into the verse like you did before.
_ One of the things I'm doing as I'm strumming actually, you'll notice [Ab] I'm going off and I'm coming back on.
Going off, coming back on.
I do that a lot.
_ [B] And I like the way it sounds.
It _ _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ kind of gives it a nice flair to it _ when you're _ continually pulling off and hammering back on. _
Adds some flavor to it.
Otherwise it's kind of a dull. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ [B] The one I do _ sounds _
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ a whole lot better.
_ [Eb] _ So remember that strumming pattern.
Remember _ the riff, the intro riff.
And this song will sound great on acoustic guitar. _ _
