If you want to follow along with the play styling just watch the video. It isn't too
hard to catch on to the chord timing, right and left hand mutes, and various other small
embellishments. I assume if you're here though then you already know the song.

All of my friends said "What's out in Cumberland?"

Neighborly with fiddleheads, copperheads, and moccasins
C/GC/G             FF
Build a little cabin, honey, throw a window in

Watch the breeze blowin' through the hickories and dandellins?

The Taj Mahal, the Great Wall, the places that I never been
C/GC/G              FF
Take a little drive, take a little trip to heaven and
