Chords for Steve Earle - "Copperhead Road" Intro instructional (my verison)

_ _ _ _ hello mr.
or mrs.
six rusty strings _ I just got your message here and I'm gonna
try and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
YouTube I can't really make tabs for whatever reason I'm not good at it
anyway but it doesn't like to make things line up properly when I make the
tabs so we're gonna just try and show you here so we're in drop D tuning [Eb] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
like
so _ and in a little [Dm] intro _ _ [B] there's just a couple [G] little _ [D] _ _
riffs I guess so you're
just strumming along _ _ with the D chord _ and then on your _ a [G] string _ [B] [A] you're gonna
go from open to hammering on the second and third fret _ and I guess maybe _ [B] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ [G] so
[D] _ _
_ _ _ you're using _ [A] _
[B] second [C] to third on your a string [G] and then your D and G strings
open and _ _ _ _ then back [B] from your second [A] to the open [E] a string [B] pull off [A] _ _ so _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ and back
to the or down to the third fret on [B] your low E string _ [G] and _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B]
up to your D string and
[E] then you come again [A] so slowly it's _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ that's the first one then the second one
[A] _ [D] so _ _ [A] you hammer on again on the [B]
a string sorry I'm a little tired you're getting
them confused on your a string hammer on from open to the [C] third fret _ [Dm] _ _ [D] _ _
[C] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [G] and [B] _
then hit
your D and then G strings [Am] open so [D] and [G] _ _ then third [Bb] fret D [F] string pull [D] _ off to
[Dm] open _ third [Cm] string E or sorry a string _ [D] _ _ and back up to the open D string [Am] so and
[D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ then the last thing I do is _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] like [Dm] _
_ [D] _ _ _ that [B] similar to the first one _ it's a on your
a string _ [A] hammer up [E] and down on the second and third fret if that makes
[C] sense [A] from _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [N] open to the third fret on your low E string _ _ [A] _ _
[D] kind _ _ _ _ [A] of bend it at the
[C] end [A] so [F] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ that's the intro I'll do it quickly here _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] and once you're in the song _
to do the whole part that makes it sound [D] Copperhead Road ish the little _ that _ _ whole
thing _ _ basically [B] _ _ _ _ oh the slide to the fifth fret that's what you mentioned
[D] okay so once you're done this _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
I'm [N] taking my middle finger off and sort of
changing my D chord to only the _ _ _ second finger and your third finger [E] sort of
trying to mute your high [A] E string so it sounds like and _
_ _ [Db] then you can use your
pinky [D] to hit your fifth fret so _ it's _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ definitely a stretch and _ _ _ _ it's tough to
make it sound _ _ _ _ _ seamless _ because your hands do come off [E] or your fingers do
come off the strings for a split second [D] so you just gotta try and get quick and
smooth at it I guess _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I even have trouble with it but that's how I do [Gb] it so hope
that helps take it easy
