These are not the exact way that Shakey plays it since he uses a unique tuning and such, however this is
accurate using a closer to standard tuning.
[Chords]
Em D G A (G and A should be played as 5-5-5-x-x-x and 7-7-7-x-x-x on the D-A-D-G-B-E strings respectively)
Transition: D->Em when transitioning from D to Em during interludes play the following on the low D string:
---5-3-2---
Shakey doesn't play this transition all the time, and also plays this rif intermittently during D chords in
certain parts. I suggest watching the video to really figure this out!
[Intro]
D(with riff sometimes) Em D
[Verse]

oh sittin there across the way
Em
