David Grisman recorded it, also Jerry Garcia when he played the Brown County Blugrass Festival. You can listen to it here (click) by clicking on the speakers.

Tony Rice recorded this on one of his early albums. Can't remember which one,though.

I'm sure someone on the Flatpick-L will have both chords and tab. You'll have to join but it's a great group if you're into bluegrass and flatpicking.

Thank you all so much...

I can't seem to locate any tab...and since I won't be able to pick up any cds until next monday (and I would love to play this tune tonight) can someone post the progression? I'm sure it's simple, but I want to make sure I got it right...

Thanks, Bds

That is a line from a C&W song I have asked about before:
POOR FOLK

Haven't got a nickel
Haven't got a dime
Wondering why we're poor folk all the time
_______
Want a hill to climb
Wondering why we're poor folk all the time

What's the use of working
I can't save a cent
Can't say I'm exactly broke
I'm just badly bent

It's from a 78RPM long lost. Need to know lyrics and artist.

Reminds me of a verse from "The Panic Is On" which runs:

All them landlords done raised the rent,
Folks that ain't broke are badly bent;
Where they gets dough from, goodness knows,
But if they don't produce it, in the streets they go,
Doggone – I mean the panic is on.
