The numbers in parenthesis indicate to barre the chord on that fret.
For example A(5) means to play an E chord barred on the 5th fret.
C#m(4) means to play an Am chord barred on the 4th fret.
D(2) means to play a C chord barred on the 2nd fret.
No parenthesis means to play the chord in the typical open string position.
If youUre not comfortable with barre chords, the song sound fine without
them.
D#dim is played by xx1212.
Willie likes to add lots of bass runs like C# C D (on the A string)
between the C#m and D chords
and E F# G# A (on the E string) with a triplet feel on each note
between the E and A(5) chords or the A and A(5) chords
