This is how I play the song at my solo acoustic shows. When we do a full show, the other guitarist plays the First and Third solos, because I don't know them, so they wont be tabbed. However, the song sounds very natural with out either of them. Just go right into the lyrics and skip that part. **Tuned Half-Step Down**
**Note** When Strumming, Accents can make or break this song. It's important to listen to the track to get it down.
Chords Used C G A D D/F# Em (and variations of all these)
[Intro] C G A D* e-0---0-0-0-0--3---3-3-3-3--0---0-0-0-0--2---3-2-0-2-| b-1---3-1-0-1--3---3-3-3-3--2---3-2-0-2--3---3-3-3-3-| g-0---0-0-0-0--0---0-0-0-0--2---2-2-2-2--2---2-2-2-2-| d-2---2-2-2-2--0---0-0-0-0--2---2-2-2-2--0---0-0-0-0-| a-3---3-3-3-3--2---2-2-2-2--0---0-0-0-0--------------| E--------------3---3-3-3-3---------------------------|
There is an asterisk by the D. This is because this is what I call the D Turnaround. He uses it nearly every time he plays the D Chord. I'll continue putting the asterisk for that.
Play this once. Then get a strum going for behind the whistle and first solo. He plays through these chords once more then goes into the chords for the chorus. Easy strum Pattern once you get the hang of it. Follow a recording, its easy to Hear.

He Does this once Then does it again This time he "Stutter Strums" The D Chord. He hits it four times very fast then does the turn around. He Stutters four times then goes back to the verse.

You can mute them for a few strums if you want. It seems to put the GNR edge in if you do.

Sit here on the stairs Cause I'd rather be alone If I can't hAe you right now I'll wait dear
Sometimes I get so candescent But I can't speed up the time You know love, there's one more thing To consider

Sad woman take it slow And things will be just fine You and I just use a little patience

The secret here is to variate between plucking and strumming that’s why I wrote down the plucking part together with chords and rhythm pattern. Just to give an example of a sequence I marked with P the plucks and S the strums, you can add more plucks or strums depending if you want to emphasize more or less the verse.
