CAPO I (all chords relative)
Note: the chord name "D7/9(1,2,3,(5),b7)" is too cumbersome for a tab, so I
abbreviated it to "D7/9".and essentially, it's a C7 (x32310) which, in this
song, is slid up two frets following a C for a sweet slide sound.it's fairly
common in Americana/Folk music and sounds really, really cool.

Verse 2:
Grass around your ankles in the field before the flood

You're a mover and a shaker and a lover in the sun
Take me away
