Girl From North Country (from Water on the Road)

Shawshank

I'm a complete newb with guitar. I mess around on mine here and there, but I really dig the version of Girl From The North Country from the Water On The Road DVD. Can anyone give me a hand with the tab on this? It looks like a D to I believe Asus4 and then to a G, I'm having a hard time figuring it out, and the strumming pattern is screwing me up to. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think it's D to Dmaj9(or whatever it's called) to a G

I believe Ed plays the Dmaj9 like this...xx0220
Same chord progression as the first 3 chords to Neil Young's "Long May You Run"

Strum Pattern:
Dmaj9 x2......G x1...D x3
v............... v.......v
dd udu dd udu dd udu dd udu dd udu dd udu
v................v.......v
If your..........North..fair

Hope this makes sense...

The first chord D is a hammer on (fingers on 2nd fret)
so the first chord is actually played like xxx030 (hammer-on) xxx232.

Good call. I completely forgot add that tid-bit.
