Chords with lyrics
Album: Country Boy
Released July 20, 1977
Written By: Fred Hellerman & Marshall Baker

This is my interpretation with a great deal of "help" from my teacher Joe Kuykendall.
The first verse is strummed slowly, each chord only once. The subsequent verses have a
couple of additional chords that are left out in the first verse.
