Jailer

Jailer
------

The main part:
F#m (at 2nd fret, fingerpicked in a sort of a Merle Travis way)
A A B

...I do it approximately like this, I play it very loosely, so almost like strumming instead of fingerpicking:
-2----------2----------------
---2---(2)----2----x--2-2-4--
-------(2)---------x--2-2-4--
--------4--------4-x---------
------------4---------0-0-2--
-2---------------------------

(Travis picking = the three bass strings with thumb, the notes in brackets brushed with thumb)
the xxx means just a muted down strum as an accent.

...there is a move between F# and E notes there...
so I guess you could play it so that you first play the barre F#m, then lift off the barre, to play the open 1st string...
...or something...

break part:
A E G (for example open cowboy chords)
D A E (at fifth - seventh fret, so the E is higher one)
A E G
D A
