The Barricades of Heaven - Jackson Browne

We will use a basic 4/4 strumming pattern to play through the chords.  There are a few chords that will switch on the up beat during the chorus, but other than that, this is a fairly straight forward song.

There's a really cool riff that is played between verses.  Watch the video below to hear how I would play it on an acoustic guitar.

Be sure to play along with the recording.
