(The following comes from "Woody Guthrie, Roll On Columbia, The Columbia River Collection" A song book containing lyrics, chords, and standard notation transcripts of melodies for the songs Woody wrote while working for the Bonneville Power Administration in 1941, including many not included on the album by that name. Also, some copies of Woody's original notes, and historical documents appear. The book can be had for about US$10 from Sing Out Publications, PO Box 5253, Bethlehem, PA 18015-0253, Phone orders at (215) 865-5366. It's a good book. As long as I'm sounding like a commercial, let me suggest the following CD: "Woody Guthrie -The Library of Congress Recordings" It's excellent. By the way, I have no vested interest in selling these products.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't copy and distribute songs from books, but in this case, there are only two chords, which I probably could have figured out myself.)
