Alberta Says Hello chords by Corb Lund

Chords with lyrics

Chorus "End" -

At the end of the chorus, Lund will forgoe a full chord, and instead slide up on only the D MajorD string to the 7th
fret, plucking thus, and then slides down to pick the 5th, 4th, and 2nd frets of the same string once every
beat, with a slight bend on each note.

Throughout the piece, Lund adds ornamentation and musicality to this other wise simple piece. I've not noted
these here, as I feel such exhaustive detail would be unnecessary, but this can easily be added in play by the
musician as they wish, or imitated more exactly by listening closely to the linked recording.
