This is an accoustic version of Dylan's knockin on heaven's door.

I'm playing the g-d-a7-g-d-c which forms the meat of the song - down up down up and it sounds okay.

On the g - d parts I think that is exactly what's happening.

But the intro and outro and at some points during the a7 and c parts it sounds like the rythm is varied slightly.

Any pointers would be great.

Amazing how those 4 simples easy chords with just that slight variation of rythm and then using the 1st string 3rd fret towards the end of the bar of a7 and c - can create such damn feeling! Amazing.
