---Notes--------------------------------------------------------------

   some easy open chords:

             EADgbe
   ------------------
       Am    002210
       Bm    xx4432
       C     032010
       D     x00232
       D7    x00212
       D7    x30232
       Em    022000
       Em7   020000
       G     320003
       G6    320000  aka G + e in soprano; or simply use Em7
       G7    320001
       GM7   320002

   In this arrangement, the gentle soprano melody do - ti - la - ti
   plays on the upper e-string in the G - GM7 - G6 - GM7 sequence
   throughout the piece, and can easily be plucked between strums.

   "Hill Country Rain", Ryko disc RCD 10241, is an awesome album from
   an awesome performer who has never lost his integrity - instead, he
   generally chose to lose either his wife or his sobriety.

   Anther version of this song in C is available at
   Straussfogel. My arrangement puts the piece in G (with the chorus
   in C) and then capo's it up to B-flat major, to match Jerry Jeff.
