(C) Good morning captain
Good morning shine
Do you (F)need another mule skinner
Out on your new road (C)line?

The yodel part goes to (G) and resolves in (C)

There are many variations of this song. If you need help with transposition, ask. Sorry again.

Peace ... I agree with you. I was also about to post my chords for this song when I noticed that this requester didn't even give us the courtesy of joining as a member.

Why should I waste my time with him/her? Bob

Gees, you guys. Get with it. We have a longstanding policy of answering all requests without giving people any guff, and without requiring membership. All the person wanted was chords.
Learn some manners, willya?

As a guest myself I must congratulate "Deckman" for wasting his time by telling everyone that he is not going to waste his time ??? Nice guy obviously.

To return to the question posted, if you want to do it a la Bill Monroe you will need to "put it way up into G" as I was advised by Wayne Ledford. Wayne claimed that it was from him and his brothers that Bill got the idea when they were playing at the court house in Bakersville, N.C. but when I queried this with him on another occasion he tended to back track slightly. Personally I do it in E, I find it easier to hold onto that long yodel the way I first heard it from Ramblin' Jack Elliott.

I used to have it by The Fendermen b/w "Torture" on the red Top Rank label, so there.
