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.
