This isn't the way John Paul plays it but it still works well and is an easier version :)
Capo on 1st fret
Strumming pattern: intro - D D U D U, verse - just straight downbeats to the rhythm
If you need help with the beats and guitar slaps in the second verse just listen to the song and you'll
catch on pretty quickly.
Intro: Em

Everywhere but under me

In the name of a wandering man
Who I love the best I can

Em7 (once, let ring) (two percussive guitar slaps)

There's a six-foot hole
