Ah yes, this song reminds me of my youthful days, spent running from the
law! If only I had known this song, perhaps I could have whipped out my
guitar and lulled the sheriff to sleep!
Anyway, here is another fingerpicking pattern to learn, one that can be
used on countless songs. We are in the key of G now, using the 3 primary
chords in the key, which are G, C and D7.
We are using an alternate bass pattern with the thumb, followed by 4 16th
notes. The exact tab is below. Make sure you check Mel to review these
chords or alternate bass patterns if you need to.
