This song has been with me from my earliest days. I learned it from the Peter Paul & Mary records we used to listen to while doing the dishes after supper. It doesn't lend itself well to unaccompanied voice because it has that long gap that is supposed to be filled with an instrument. So, if anyone knows what they are I would appreciate having the chords.

I did a DT and forum search. I found out from those searches that Jimmy Driftwood wrote He Had a Long Chain On but I don't know anything else about it.
