GUEST,Flamingojeff Chords Req: My Rag (John Hartford) (10) RE: Chords Req: My Rag (John Hartford) 17 Apr 11


Here's the whole thing based on John Hartford's concert at Lacrosse College in 1983. The chords are played in a "C" position with a capo on the 2nd fret. I'll base the chords on C, as in the song:
  C                              F             
Well, about this song that I'm pickiin' on the guitar
G                         C
Can't really tell what it is
                   F
Well I can't really tell if it's
                                  G
heavy metal-funk-jazz-acid rock or blues.
       C                      F               
Well I got me a bunch of these chords right here
       G                   C                      D
And my left hand plays 'em around in a circle back sound
                           G
like them big folk singers do.
Well first I go to C, then I go to F,
then I go to G, then I go to C once again,
then I go to F once more, then I move it on back to E7.
then I go to Am, then I go to C,
then I go to F, then I go to D,
then I go to G
then I make a little run and I go back to C.
Then the bridge goes to Am, then it goes back to E7.
Then it goes once again to Am, then it goes back to E7.
Then it goes to C, then it goes to G.
Then it makes a little run and it goes back to C,
                                                    G
But you have to take it into consideration that the capo's
on the 2nd fret.
...after that Hartford goes into a break and ends the song.
