Where A7 is called for, play [- 0 2 0 2 0] Where A7* is noted play [- 0 2 0 2 3] D7 also... D7 is [- 0 0 2 1 2] D7(V) - [5 5 7 5 7 5] D7(V)* - [5 5 7 5 7 8] I suggest listening to the recording for the timing on the D7 - D7(V) - D7(V)* progression There are two low E notes plucked off beat during the intro Intro picking pattern is played very softly, strumming starts at the end Intro: C E Am ?
