Tim McGraw, "Book Of John" This is a "D down": e|--3--p2---2---0---0h2--| B|--3-------3---3---3----| G|--2-------2---2---2----| D|--0-------0---0---0----| A|--0-------0---0---0----| E|--x-------x---x---x----| There are also several other hammer-ons and pull-offs withing the chords that are played at times, and not at other times. Doing all of them takes some practice. I suggest starting with the D down, and adding the others one at a time.
