Let The Bad Times Roll

• G

This ~can~ be played in standard tuning (it basically sounds OK to these ears),
but you will need to slap a capo on the first fret. I've heard Paul play live
versions of it three different times, and he never seems to play it the same
way, so I've stuck to the version on "Stereo" for reference. I don't want to
make this more confusing than it needs to be, so the chords (and positions)
listed below are "open" (i.e., once the capo obliges you to move everything up,
it'll sound like P.W.).
