Rog,go to youtube and check out Bert Janch,BBC Four.
He's in A,capo on 3rd, playing the G chord.
There are also some chord and tab sites on there.

Good luck

David

Thanks Dave, but I've tried the net for Tabs, and all I can find for bert Janch on Utube is 'Carnival' and 'Blues Run The Game'

Hi Rog
Great song. I can give you the basic chords I use but I've not been able to work out the fast changes Jackson C Frank plays. I use D, G, and A, but to be in tune with the record I think you'd want E, A and B, so:

(E)Don't look back
Over your (A)shoulder
Keep your (E)eye on freedom's (B)shore
Cause you (E)know
The brave men (A)with you
Also (B)pay the wages of (E)war

Follow the same pattern throughout the song, for verses as well as the chorus.
The fast changes (eg in the intro before he starts singing) I think might contain a lot of switching quickly between E&A, but I can't tell exactly what he's playing. If you or your son work it out I'd love to know! Hope that's enough to get him started.

Patrick

Lyrics:

(chorus)
Don't look back
Over your shoulder
Keep your eye on freedom's shore
Cause you know
The brave men with you
Also pay the wages of war

You can read all about justice
In a million books and more
But there aren't words
To bring back Evers
Nor pay the price
That he stood for

chorus

Well can't you hear the bells of Selma
Calling out their mournful chimes
Just another death for justice
Another sorrow that's yours and mine

chorus

Well there are walls that make a prison
Many names that can bring hate
You tear 'em down and ride 'em over
Before you find
It's just too late

chorus

Hi guys
I think "don't look back" is played with a capo at the 4th fret and then the intro is a E chord mixed in with a Esus4. The rest of the chords I use are primarily an A and a B. I don;t think the chord changes are at quick as stated by gingerbread man. The way I play it is playable but not 100% so any suggestions would be good.

Thanks
Marek
