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.

C/G                     F
All of my friends said "What's out in Cumberland?"
C/G                        G
"Gonna get lonesome when you get out to Cumberland"
C/G                     F
"Stay in the city, boy, winter is a wonderland"
C/G                 G
They all mean well, I will remember them

Wander through the holler, honey, wander through the glen

Neighborly with fiddleheads, copperheads, and moccasins
C/G                          F
Build a little cabin, honey, throw a window in
C/G                                  G
Watch the breeze blowin' through the hickories and dandellins?

I know a pretty girl, she's the prettiest there's ever been
C/G             G
Wild as a weed, sweeter than a mandolin

The Taj Mahal, the Great Wall, the places that I never been

Take a little drive, take a little trip to heaven and

Wonder for a while if it's paradise or Cumberland
