Ray Wylie Hubbard - Open G lyrics

You take the low-E string and the high-E
Tune 'em down both to D
Now take the A string and tune it down to G
Now the D, G, and B strings
Oh just leave 'em be

Now what you got is called Open G
The guitar is tuned to D-G-D-G-B-D
Lay your finger 'cross the
Fifth fret like this, and that chord's a C
Lay it across the seventh fret
That chord was a D

There's a guitar called a
Resonator 'cause it resonates
Some are made of wood
Some are metal both reverberate
Now take a glass or brass slide
That's just the right weight
You take that slide and shake
The jelly on the plate

So you take the low-E string and the high-E
You tune 'em down both to D
You take the A string
Oh you tune it down to G
Now the D, G, and B strings
Well just leave 'em be
Oh that's called Open G
