GIVE IT AWAY
Written by Bill Anderson, Buddy Cannon, and Jamey Johnson

This song is pitched in the key of F but the opening lick
sounds like familiar bluesy E patterns so the guitar is
either tuned up a half-step or capo'd at Fret-1.

GUITAR-1:
   1 e   + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a   1
E|-2h3p2-0---------------------------|----     h = hammer on
B|---------3-0-----------------------|----     p = pull off
G|-------------3-2-0-----0-----------|----     b = 'blues' bend (1/4 tone)
D|-------------------2p0---0-2-------|----
A|-----------------------------2-----|----     d = down pick
E|-------------------------------3-b-|-0--     u = up pick
   d(u)  d u d u d u d(u)d u d u d

Consistent sixteenths pattern requires cross-picking
index finger at fret-2
middle finger at fret-3

GUITAR-2:
   1 e + a 2   +   3   +   4 e + 
E|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|-0h2---2-----2-------2-----------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------3-3---|
