Ok guys heres my version of Old man down the road! [Intro]
Use a clear tone with bridge pickup I find works the best, no effects or 
fancy tools needed!

[Verse 1] E7 He take-a thunder from the mountain He take-a lightnin' from the sky G He bring the strong man to his beggin' knees E7 He make the young girl's mama cry [Chorus] E7 You got to hidey-hide You got to jump and run You got to hidey-hidey-hide C D E7 The old man is down the road [Verse 2] He got the voices speakin' riddles He got eyes as black as coal He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide And he stands right in the road [Chorus] John's instrumental..... same pattern as chorus [Verse 3] He make the river call your lover He make the barking of the hound Put a shadow 'cross the window When the old man comes around [Chorus] (last line twice) Now for some of the riffs used.. i think you can figure out where. These are not fully correct, I mainly improvise them.
