Welcome to the Future Brad Paisley
For the intro, I like to play it like this (it's not exactly
like the original though):
[G] [Cadd9] [G] [D] [Dsus4] [D]
e|-3-3--3---3-3-3--2-2--0h2-3-3-2----------| B|-3-3--3---3-3-3--3-3--3---3-3-3----------| G|-0-0--0---0-0-0--2-2--2---2-2-2----------| D|-0-0--0---2-2-0--0-0--0---0-0-0----------| A|-2-2--0h2-3-3-2--------------------------| E|-3-3--3-------3--------------------------| Repeat
Also where I wrote Cadd9 Csus2, I play it like this:
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--0h2--2--2-0-2---------------| A|-3--3--3----3--3-3-3---------------| E|-----------------------------------|
The number/rhythm of strums isn't really shown above, but it's not too
hard to figure it out. Sorry if it's confusing.
