Isbell plays the song in Drop D tuning, with the guitar capoed up two frets. The same effect can be produced
by playing the song in standard tuning and using a Drop D cutaway capo on the second fret. The song works
perfectly well in standard tuning, except you'd lose the lowest bass note.
This song mixes time signatures.
