Ha! like Ian, been looking for the right way to play this for 40 odd years, then, as you demonstrated, what sounds complicated, well, it ain't necessarily so. I cannot believe how simple this is. Every thing about what you did here was awesome, goes to show what genius's Young, Meldrum and Morris were! Gold Star

Ya should be taught it at School… What a Legend and Noble after that period really knows him…

Crikey mate, can't believe u haven't said a huge thank you for this! Gunna help me with my hybrid practice! mate you are almost as big a Lege as this song. Troy, goodonya!

It's good, thank you. But in your 1st chord diagram (B), the X should be over the open G, which you don't play, not over the high E, which you do.

Come back to this again for more hybrid practice. Little bit of trivia mate, i believe the original was played by a group called Lotus, they had a minor hit caled Lotus One, (listen to mr baby). Goodonya cob, go Dees!
