Actually at second glance he is playing something different for the chorus.

i always play a
4
4
2
chord,first before doing the rundown thats listed on all the tabs, im sure thats how he plays it live,
at the chorus, i just play a g barr chord, and an a minor bar chord if i want to vairy the song from the open chords


could the rest of that smooth rider video be posted,it looked great.
i remember at randells island, it was great, and towards the end dave went nutts, that performance sold the song to me , i love it now and its very easy to sing and play well.

this is a audio cilp of smooth rider, played as edave seems to play i live, a little quicker and with more emphasis on the first chord.
