Country Boy Can Survive -- Hank Williams Jr.
Transcribed by: Skip (Damn Skippy) otsi@ix.netcom.com

This is the way I play the intro.

D   Am7   G  D    |----------------------|  D
                  |----------------------|
                  |----------------------|
                  |--3p2p0---------------|
                  |--------3p2p0-----0---|
                  |--------------2h4-----|

I don't know how to write the riffs that are added
during the song.
Some are hammer on and pull offs on the 4th & 5th
string while strumming
the D chord.
