He plays this
, but I think it works better for one guitar playing on capo
2. To play capo four, The D is a C and so on… To play it with no capo, the D is an
E and so on…
*Use a clamp
Capo on 2 and leave the E string open. ADGBE will be
with the
top E left open, so you’re playing in D position (resembling playing in drop D tuning).*
(One other note: Play the high E string open for that hammer-on for the Bm)

No buckles on a shelf collecting dust
Still his memory shines inside of all of us
Some miss their hero, some miss their friend
His mom and daddy long to see their little boy again

If your washed in the blood someday you'll see him again
And it won't be in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
