** the D5 of the break is used as a passing tone, just release your fingers from

the C/G shape and pick the A and D strings. Part is so fast that it won't be

noticeable and sounds correct in the context.

Note concerning chord shapes:

As with many of Folk musicians, Langhorne Slim uses a slight variation in chord

shapes. The chords will usually feel like they are shaped like C, that is:

To form an F Chord, all you would have to do would be to move your 2 fingers from

the D and A Strings to the G and D strings, and mute (or don't play) the E

strings. So F would be formed like this:

similarly, G would be played like this:

Note that your pinky is on the high G.

Another note is that for this song, Langhorne plays C with the added 5th, so just

keep your pinky like its playing G and your good to go.

The final chord of this song is C/G, the G is the lower G, not the higher one, so

the chord would be:

This is the same shape of C/G used in the break section.

Forming these chords is far easier then explaining how to :], but I hope this

helped some people who are new to folk chord shapes.
