CHORDS:
    C   G    C   G  Fmaj7  G5  Am  F   Dm    D   G*  A

Opening lick is a pick-up on Beat-4 (based on C-chord in eighth position)
Stumbling rhythm has accents on 2 and 3+ thus:

      >     >     >
  1 + 2   3 + 4   1   2 + 3 + 4
  / / /   / /     /     /   / /

Main guitar plays  Fmaj7/A  throughout, but only the
gliss strum on Beat-1 produces the bass note clearly.
Open 1st-string occasionally forms G6

INTRO/VERSE-A:
   NC           C       G      (Am) Fmaj7         Fmaj7/A     NC

  h = hammer on

Vocal melody is phrased differently in VERSE-B sections
and progression is played entirely in first position.
