HELLO OLD FRIEND (Kim Richey)
-----------------------------
[Actually in F#; capo 4.]
[D/F# = the first time this chord comes around in the progression (before G),
there's a hammer-on from 0 to 2 on the high E string at the beginning, but
you can't hear it very clearly (if at all), because she's accenting the
low F#. The second D/F# (after A7) is sometimes just plain old D.]
[A7 = at the beginning of the measure, hammer-on 0-2 on the D string.
Also, the first half of the measure is actually A7sus4 (x02030).]
