Relatively Easy is relatively easy...not really but it's a ball to play. Not really hard but the D run and the drop D G chord may be a little challenging. Love it though.

Close enough to start learning the nuances.

"New South Wales" is easy and fun to play. C-F-G is all you need. Capo on 4, IIRC, to play along with Jason. Ultimate Guitar's chord sheet has it as D-G-A with capo on 2. This works too, but I like the C-shape fingering to do the walk-down during the refrain ("but I swear the land it listened to the stories that we told...")
EDIT: Shoot, I missed your "no F" request in the OP...my bad! In that case, by all means go with what's posted on Ultimate Guitar. Upon YouTube review it looks like that's how the man himself plays it anyway. Last edited by quadrophenia; 05-13-2015 at 08:55 AM.

Thx, Karl K. Your tab is very close to mine. The only difference I see is where you have "And (G) she was only (F#) seventeen(G7th)" I have a D/F# instead of F#. I'll try your version when I get a chance. Great song, fun to play.

The first two Jason Isbell songs i learned were "Cover Me Up" which i play capo'd on the 2nd fret in standard tuning
He did this version on Austin City Limits and it sounds great. Also "Different Days" It is pretty simple once you get the little intro progression down that he uses through the song.

1. I simply cannot get my fingers to do the D/F# chord. 2. As a result, what I do when I play the song, is just hit the single note F# on the low E. It's my way of faking it!! Meanwhile, watch how JI does it in the vid above -- right at 1:34. He's just depressing the low E 2nd fret, the G string 2nd fret, and B string third fret. No high e 2nd fret to get the full D shape. It's great to see when the pro is "faking it!!" Last edited by KarlK; 08-06-2015 at 04:48 PM.
