Step 1
Play the first and second verses with the following chords in progression: G, D, G, C, G, D, C, G, D. Be sure to make a proper and quick switch from G to C between the second and third repetition of the word "trouble."
-
Step 2
Play the chorus with the following chords in progression: G, C, F, C for the part "I've been saved by a woman," and Am, D for the part "She won't let me go." Repeat the first line three times, and the second one once with Am, then once with D.

Step 3
Strum the instrumental break following the chorus, with the chords G, C, G, D, twice through. Here is a chance to take advantage of the acoustic nature of your playing, as the sound can lend the "right" touch of the blues feel to it, where the electric would not.

Step 4
Use the same chord arrangement for the second verse and go through the chorus as before.
-
Step 5
Bridge the song with the indicated lyrics and the chord progression C, Bm, Am, G, C, Bm, Am, and then G and C to end off, with an especially strong and soulful expression of the words "good" and "love." Be careful all the way through this one. It follows the same simple beat, but the way the chords change up more quickly can, if you're not careful, make the song come out rather flat. Watch the rhythm and pace of the "ohs" and "ahs" and "whoas." Again, use the strength of the acoustic guitar sound to accentuate the singing of key words and phrases.
