Lakes Of Ponchartrain chords by Paul Brady

Here's an old tune performed by Ireland's Paul Brady on the "Welcome Here
Kind Stranger" album.  The arrangement is done in open G tuning, and you
will note some similarity in chords and chord progression with the old
Beatle's tune "Blackbird."  I only give the intro and partial tabs.  Please
excuse the chord names which may be inaccurate.
