Here is a video from 2010, and while the chords Mr. Hellerman used are fully visible, I confess I haven't the expertise to decipher them. Can anyone out there help? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Jay |

No bar needed just pluck those strings. A then play a barred F on 3rd fret and slide it north to the 2nd fret. Stay on that fret. Play Am barred on the 2nd fret then on the same 2nd fret E (barred) do this twice then Am again on 2nd fret and then a B7 on the 3rd to Em on 2nd fret and regular A7. The chorus is D then A6(bar) Em on 2nd fret and A7 on the same 2nd fret then E7 A then again F on 3rd fret slide F to 2nd fret and Bm (Am on 2nd fret) to E7 and A then do the intro slide again (above) Also there is a simple slide before the E7 that looks fancy but is actually just a D on the 4th fret slid up to D and then E. Have fun! |

Well, everything in life is relative, isn't it? LOL! I guess it's time for this bare-bones guitar player to try and up his game! But seriously - many thanks. It's a lovely song and perhaps I will eventually be able to do it justice. Jay |
