TAB:

This is the D** part:

D D11 D Dsus D D11 D
| \ | | | | /
E 2---2---2-0-2-3^|3---3-2-0-2-----| A note on all these D chords: I
B 3---3---3-3-3-3^|3---3-3-3-3-----| wrote down pretty much what Mary-Chapin
G 2---2---2-0-2-2^|2---2-2-0-2-----| played on "Austin City Limits," but it's
D 0---0---0-0-0-0^|0---0-0-0-0-----| open to improvisation; I'm sure she
A ----------------|----------------| doesn't play it the same every time.
E ----------------|----------------| (The ^ is a tie across measures.)
^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .

at the very least, the acoustic guitar does the hammer-on in the 2nd bar.
