Having watched, from front row center, Garnett do it in person in a small venue, & knowing his commanding mastery of guitar, I decided to try it a-capella at the next Cowboy poetry & music get together; Preliminary putzing around suggests it should work well, be different, allow time to slow down, speak certain parts & make more emphasis where I want it, & be a sort of transition between the usual song format & the poems.
OTOH; I don't remember the chords, but they were pretty straightforeward to work out by ear, in several keys, while experimenting.
Fantastic song, based on a true story & I heard she's had more colts since!
Cheers & good luck, BK
