All the way through the song is just the same round of two bars of played over
and over again. So instead of indicating chords, I've just indicated how many
rounds long each part is, pretty simple :)
The Picking Pattern:
Okay, this is such a cool riff! It's kinda tricky though - especially if you're
to sing/rap at the same time!
The tricky thing is the slaps on the beats 2 and 4 (except for the second 4).
The easiest way of learning the whole thing would be to learn it without the
slaps in first place. Simply start with the finger picking, and then try to
add the slaps afterward. Notice how important the slaps are! How Jason slaps
is slapping only the low e- and a-string (as noted in the tab) with the thumb.
By only slapping and dampening those two strings, you can let the other strings
ring across the slap, but it really takes some motor function. I find the second
slap hardest, as you are to do the slide simultaneously, but when it's nailed,
it sounds so groovey!
I typed the riff into GP5, so just mail me and ask for it if you want it.
Intro
2+2+2 rounds, only guitar and banjo in the first 2 rounds,
then Jason's vocal comes in, and finally the bands plays in.

Ooh, this is just a lovely simple song!
Troughout the entire song is just one single chord progression of 4 bars
and 3 variations. So instead of writing the same chords over again, I'll
just wirte how many rounds each part is long, simple :D

Intro
It's not really useful putting chords to this part. The first part would
switching between E/f# and F#m7, and the second part is changing between
Dmaj7-5, D5maj7 and Dmaj7 rather randomly. It would be a better idea to
generalise it to just F#m7 and Dmaj7.
(I've also made this in GP5, so just mail me and ask if want you want it.)

In this song there are just 5 five chords. Most of the time it's just the
picking pattern being repeated. Therefore I think it's easier to just refer
to the picking pattern as one round.
