Chords

from Boots No. 2: The Lost Songs, Vol. 1 Play with a slow shuffle feel. Carter scratch-style: bass notes, sometimes alternating, on the 1 and 3 and strums on the 2, 3&, 4, 4&. Sometimes she walks bass notes from one chord to another in the last half of a bar. G = 320003 Gadd11 = 320013 C/G = 332010 C = x32010 D7 = x00212 Bm7 = x13121 Play the G with the middle, ring, and pinky fingers, then drop the index onto the first fret of the B string to move back and forth from the G and Gadd11. ************************************************************************************************************ G Gadd11 G Gadd11 [Chorus]

And Apalachicola ain't my kind of town

They hauled me to the station

In a cuff and chains

I was bluer than a bottle

Of Apalachicola rain
[Verse 2]

I told them I was guilty

                    G    Gadd11  G
Thought I'd rest in jail

Told them I was guilty

                    Bm7   C
Thought I'd rest in jail

But in Apalachicola

They make you fill an orchard pail

Apalachicola ain't my kind of town

G                   Gadd11
Oranges in the summer

               G    Gadd11   G
Oranges in the fall

C/G
Oranges in the wintertime

                      Bm7    C
But they're tough and small

      D7
Then I wish I hadn't come

                        G   Gadd11  G
To Apalachicola town at all
