Little Big Town - Boondocks (out Of E) guitar chord
I personally think this is played out of a standard E. All A's and E's are major.
Leave the top (high pitched) E string open on all D's.
Try doing a pull off of the bottom E string - (3rd fret like a G) before the end
of each major verse or chorus that ends with E. This will give you that step-DOWN
deep tone like "born and raised in the boon (pull off) docks".
Also, before the D's, try a step-UP pull off of the second string (3rd fret) going
into the D. Like this: "I keep my (pull off (second string)) heart and soul in the
boon (pull off (bottom E string)) docks".
Adding these two pull-offs will give you more of a country sound and will help with
the spaces between chords.
