Brother John

	  		Okay, so this is my first time tabbing a song, so go easy on me. 
Where it says D in the verses and Chorus, that is the easiest way to play it. However, the more 
correct way would be: 

E-A-G-B-e 
- - - - - 
| | | | | 
| | | | | 1st fret 
| | | | | 
- - - - - 
| | | | | 
| | 2 | | 
| | | | | 
- - - - - 
| | | | | 
| 1 | 3 | 
| | | | | 
- - - - - 

I usually play it with a  
Capo on 1, but it sounds fine without.
