Last week I saw in the news that Glen Campbell had given a concert at the Maricopa Co. jail, where he had just finished a short stint for DUI. They mentioned several of the songs he performed, but no mention of my all time favorite Campbell hit, "Southern Nights".

I wonder if anyone out there has worked out the chords to this Allen Toussaint song that Campbell made famous. Believe it or not, it wasn't on Cowpie!

I like his version because of the way he brings the banjo in on the 2nd verse! And of course that famous lick, plus the great lyrics and tune from Mr Toussaint.

Guess I screwed up by using the name of the (slightly famous)composer instead of the (very famous) recording artist in the thread title. Oh well, I'll try again with this thread, and if that doesn't work, I'll re-submit with GC's name in the thread title.

By the way, if there are any "chords that are too hard to play", please include them. They will probably be in my new Mel Bay chord book.
