I saw a couple of requests for this one so I thought I would learn a new
song this morning. I haven't listened to Pat Green since I saw him with
Keith Urban 5 or 6 years ago. Good stuff!!!
The D5 as I have it marked is with the hi E muted. You can play this chord
as a Dsus2 with the same fingering except let the hi E ring out. Sounds
good either way...or mix it up between verse and chorus for a bit of change
in mood between the two. I also added the A note on hi E to the D5 chord at
the end of the intro where the chord holds.
Tuned down 1/2 step to Eb.
