New Jersey
   Red House Painters


   (NOTE:  To play it as I believe he's doing, you'll need to capo
   at the second fret. This is written as normal, though, the '2's
   representing where the capo would be.)


E------5---------5---------5---------5---|------5--
B-------3---------3---------3---------3--|-------3-
G----2---------2---------2---------2-----|----2----           ETC.
D------------2---------4---------2-------|---------
A--5-------------------------------------|--5------
E----------------------------------------|---------


I know it's not much, but this progression runs through the better
part of the song. Now you just have to figure the rest of it.....
