***************************
In the intro, and several times in the song, the D6add9 is hammered on from
the A which is formed with one barred finger. The G# is a single note played
on the D string. The A6add9 is also known as an "open F#m". Slide into the E5. The E5
is just
the D & G strings on the 7th fret. The Esus2 is sometimes called an "Open B".
As with many of Jeff's songs, less is more and cross-picking is your friend.
