George Strait - Give It Away - Drop-d guitar chord
GIVE IT AWAY
Written by Bill Anderson, Buddy Cannon, and Jamey Johnson
The F-chord should be played without the third to support
both the major melody and the minor (dorian) fills.
A good way to match the sound of the recording is to use
Double-Drop-D tuning with a capo at the third fret.
See chord voicings below as an alternative to the pop-ups.
