-John has played this slightly differently from show to show. There is no "right" way. That said in the recorded
-version the D is played as x0023x (with emphasis on the A string) and the other chords in the main progression are
-also played as power chords more or less (to play along, tune your guitar down a half step).
-Riff (for the D to G instrumentals):
--22222222xx222222
--33333333xx333333 ...into the G chord
--2222222242222222
--0000000000000000
