John Wayne and Jesus
View chords used in this chart
Notes: On "George's Bar" the song is played with a capo on the
third fret, but he plays it with a capo on the second fret live. I
think it sounds better on the second. Anyway, the picking at the
begining is very easy. As he picks the Low E and A strings, he lightly
picks the upper three strings. I'll only tab the two bass strings. The
rest is easy enough to figure out, only picking the Low E and A strings
sounds fine anyway. In the chorus, he does a walk down from G to Em.
It's not hard to figure out. This is my very first tab, let me know
what you think. LONG LIVE TEXAS MUSIC.
