Fries With That Jester
One of my favourite tunes of all time, and the first live act I ever
saw. This tune appears on a few soundtracks to NZ tv shows
and Movies, and it's pretty easy to play.

Chords:
E A D G B e
[G] | 3 2 0 0 3 3 |

Note: during the chorus the the root note 'walks' from Em7 to G
so should go like this (they're marked as [Em7]-[G]):
e|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3 B|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3 G|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0 D|-2--2--2--0--0--0--0 A|-2--2--2--2--2--2--2 E|-0--0--0--2--3--3--3
In the studio version Johnnie Barker just picks the bass note
then the 1st string repeatedly for each bar (with a couple of
little slides, but they're easy to work out.) If you just strum
away to the tune using the below chords it sounds just fine.
Enjoy and let me know it there's any glaring errors.
