Thread Name: Chords Req: Jimmy Clay
Subject: RE: Chords Req: Jimmy Clay
Starts with a Minor Chord (Jason - Capos on Fret are irrelevant )

To set the tone of the song stroke Am, and the into Dm on the word "walk"


Am       Dm            G                      Am
When you walk down the street, who will follow you?

Dm            G             Am
Six o'clock, it's getting late.
    Dm          G             Am
The moon it is a-rising as the sticky dew
F            G             Am
Molds on the ground by the gate.


C               Em          Am
Ah, but you're alone, Jimmy Clay.
       C          G         Am
As you smoke your cigar and earn your pay.
    F                   G                         Am
And fifteen thousand soldiers are marching by your side,
F             G          Am
Still, you're alone, Jimmy Clay.


Acknowledgements to Jason - I tinkered with the format he set out above.
