Part II
(This is what is written for the
music that I have.  I noticed in
playing
around with it that playing straight
off the Db and Eb also sounds
good.)
Strum:   G    C    F   Bb    A7sus4

This next section is strumming
around  an  A-minor at the first
position and
all eighth notes with no rests, but
the  chord change comes on the 4th
note
of each measure (the 'and' of the
second beat) like:
Strum: Asus2 Am        Asus4 Am
|     |  etc.

3/4 time rubato, that is, played
slowly 'with feeling'.  Actually,
everyone wants to play it just like
Mason does on the record...

here.
* - arpeggio (The sheet music would
denote this as three notes together
with a squiggly line.  You are
supposed to know that the notes are
not played together.)
** - triplet (fill in the space that
two notes usually take up with
three evenly spaced notes.)
h - hammer on the next note.
THE MAIN PART:
Up-tempo 4/4 time.  The signature
music doesn't give a clue about how
to play it.
Thumb and two fingers are probably
needed at a minimum.  In the first
bar, the thumb plays the A and D
string notes. In the next two bars,
the thumb plays the E string notes,
and in the fourth bar, it plays
the A and D string notes.
For the first measure, finger a
normal Am chord.  I find it works
well in the third measure to
alternate the 2-0-2 on the G string
between the index and middle finger
(play the B string notes with
your middle finger, the first G
string note with your index, the
second G string note with you middle
finger again, and the next G
string note with your index finger
again.  (just a suggestion).
