[Chorus - pattern with D - xx-D xx-D - loud on snare] (can play SSxS as hard to play heavy mute on acoustic loud enough - or BBxS)

[Like Galway Girl - Instrumental - Strum chords high - play high D with low E muted] YOU CAN JUST PLAY LINES ON B STRING FOR D CHORD AND WITH FRETTED HAND MUTE THE OPEN G, THEN MOVE TO THE HIGH E FOR THE G CHORD LINES AND MUTE THE OPEN B WITH FRETTING HAND [Play low D for some notes, then low G for others - play around 7th fret area and down neck] [D][G][D][G] x 2 - see ideas for [Solo]
[Verse] And if I [D] had ......those golden [G] dreams, of my [D] yesterday...... [G] I would [D] wrap you, ..... In the [G] heavens, And feel it [D] dying (dying, dying) on the [G] way I [G] feel like making

[End] [Solo - USING DROP D SO SOLO IN D WORKS BETTER IF HIT LOWER STRINGS - AND G IS GOOD AS WELL] (when playing D - can add lots of extra runs in Bm pentatonic) E x---X--- B 10--8--- G 7---7---- D 7---5---- A 0---5---- E 0---5---- Can also play notes whilst droning low D E X----------------------------------- mute with finger playing B string - angle finger over B 10-8-7--5--etc------------------------- G 7-----------------------------------mute with finger playing B string - angle finger over D 0----------------------------------- A 0----------------------------------- E 0-----------------------------------mute with thumb over top Can also play diads as well
