From low to high it's D G D G A# d He has two picking patterns that he uses: (t-thumb, p-pointer, m-middle, r-ring) Pattern 1: d |----------------| A#|--m--m--m--m----| G |--p--p--p--p-p--| D |--t---t---t---t-| G |t---t---t---t---| D |----------------| 1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a He uses this pattern for the intro and varies it a little bit for different parts (i.e. the last measure for each part of the intro) Pattern 2: d |--------r-------| A#|-----m-----m----| G |--p----------p--| D |--t---t---t---t-| G |t---t---t---t---| D |----------------| 1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a He uses this pattern for everything else and it also varies (hammer-ons). The intro chord progression goes like this (I'm doing one chord per measure): d |---------| A#|-0-0-0-2-| G |-3-2-0-5-| D |-5-4-1-4-| G |-0-0-----| D |-----1-0-| x2 The chord progression for the verses goes like this: d |-0-1-3-0-| A#|-2-2-0-0-| G |-0-3-0-2-| D |-0-0-0-3-| G |-0-0-----| D |-----1-3-| And for the chorus it goes like this: (now it's a little weird because it's 7 measures not 8, and the 7th measure has a second chord that it switches to halfway through) d |-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-00-| A#|-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-00-| G |-0-2-3-0-|-0-2-20-| D |-1-3-3-1-|-1-3-30-| G |-----3---|--------| D |-1-3---1-|-1-3-32-| ^ | So this chord is played on the 3rd beat of that measure. Sorry if that's confusing. Look at the written out tab for a clearer picture of what's going on. So, all of that written out: Intro (Part 1): d |-----------------------------------------------------------------| A#|---0--0--0--0------0--0--0--0------0--0--0--0------2--2--2--2--2-| G |---3--3--3--3-3----2--2--2--2-2----0--0--0--0-0----5--5--5--5--5-| D |---5---5---5---5---4---4---4---0---1---1---1---1---4---4---4---4-| G |-0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-----------------------------------| D |---------------------------------1---1---1---1---0---0---0---0---| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Intro (Part 2): d |-----------------------------------------------------------------| A#|---0--0--0--0------0--0--0--0------0--0--0--0------2--2--2---0---| G |---3--3--3--3-3----2--2--2--2-2----0--0--0--0-0----5--5--5---2---| D |---5---5---5---5---4---4---4---0---1---1---1---1---4---4---0-4---| G |-0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-----------------------------------| D |---------------------------------1---1---1---1---0---0---0-------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Verse: d |----------0---------------1---------------3----------------0-------| A#|-------0-----0---------0-----0---------0-----0----------0-----0----| G |---0h2---------2----2----------0----0----------0----0h2---------2--| D |---0----0---0---0---3---3---3---0---0---0---0---0---3----3---3---3-| G |-0----0---0---0---0---0---0---0------------------------------------| D |----------------------------------1---1---1---1---3----3---3---3---| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Chorus (Part 1): d |---------0---------------0---------------0---------------0-------| A#|------0-----0---------0-----0---------0-----0---------0-----0----| G |---0----------0----2----------2----3----------3----0----------0--| D |---1---1---1---1---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---0---1---1---1---1-| G |---------------------------------3---3---3---3-------------------| D |-1---1---1---1---3---3---3---3-------------------1---1---1---1---| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Chorus (Part 2): d |---------0---------------0---------------0-------| A#|------0-----0---------0-----0---------0-----0----| G |---0----------0----2----------2----2----------0--| D |---1---1---1---1---3---3---3---3---3---3---0---0-| G |-------------------------------------------------| D |-1---1---1---1---3---3---3---3---3---3---2---2---| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
Sing along
Oh, well I knew you shook the set-up baby, of all the leaves up in the groundAnd I know our song is over and heavy as I see dry leaves fallin' down, oh
With all this fever in my mind, I could drown in your kerosene eyes
Oh, you're just a riddle in the sky
Oh, where do my bluebird fly?
And as the early sign of dawn of thunder I see you stir the fog around
And when you find the boys and gears of sunset we'll hear that high and lonesome sound, oh
And I will question every wind if they gone through the glow of your eyes
Oh, you're just a riddle in the sky
Oh, where do my bluebird fly?
I say where do my bluebird fly?
Oh, well I know you soak your feathers baby upon the ghosts along my trail
And I know well I was sole and buried before I knew it was for sale, oh
With all this fever in my mind I could aim for your kerosene eyes
Oh, you're just a target in the sky
I say where do my bluebird fly?
I say where do my bluebird fly?
