This arrangement is for standard tuning. Listen to the recording for the timing of the riff at the
end of verse 2, which is a little tricky, as well as the main riff of the song. You can have a lot of
fun with switching out different suspended chords and inversions, which Joey Landreth does on in some of
his video versions of the tune done solo.
