D5: XX023X and D2: XX0230, or you can play a regular D major
and it sounds fine. The D5 and D2 reflect the accented notes that
(I think) a second guitar plays. I've tried to explain this at
the bottom. If you don't want to go to all that hassle, just strum
a D chord and occasionally lift your finger off the e-string.
x2
Sin city Please don't take
My lover's heart, for mine will break
It's no Pittsburg Please don't go
O--hi--o
x2
You can take a tug there, oh, take a train
Either way, I ain't going
It's no Pittsburg Please don't go
O--hi--o
And I could see her lying in the valley
Down below
And I could smell the green of those hills
Those Kentucky hills
You can take a tug there, oh, take a train
Either way, I ain't going
It's no Pittsburg Please don't go
O--hi--o
repeat
Notes:
Here's how I play the chords with one guitar and sound
reasonably like the recording. Pluck the notes under the
^ symbol, strum down \, strum up /.
