Here's the chorus and the rest of the song, as recorded by Jerry...

First, you place the tip of your bar exactly between strings 1 and 2, so you areplaying each note correct in pitch. Second, when you apply even the slightest pressure to the first string withthe tip of the bar, it will push the first string outward. This causes it to raise in pitch, which sounds off. Also,if you don't apply enough pressure, the string will buzz and you won't get the desired sound. So what I do, and thisis something important to remember down the road for other songs, is to hold the first string behind the bar in placeusing your other fingers of the left hand. This is a beautiful chord that needs to sound right.E___14~13~14__14___17~___*14_______
