Open G Ray Wylie Hubbard

[Verse 1]
You take the low-E string and the high-E
Tune 'em down both to D
Now take the A string and tune it down to G
Now the D, G, and B strings, oh just leave 'em be

[Verse 2]
Now what you got is called Open G
The guitar is tuned to D-G-D-G-B-D
Lay your finger 'cross the fifth fret like this, and that chord's a C
Lay it across the seventh fret, that chord was a D

[Verse 3]
There's a guitar called a Resonator 'cause it resonates
Some are made of wood, some are metal; both reverberate
Now take a glass or brass slide that's just the right weight
You take that slide and shake the jelly on the plate

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
So you take the low-E string and the high-E
You tune 'em down both to D
You take the A string, oh you tune it down to G
Now the D, G, and B strings, well just leave 'em be
Oh that's called Open G
