Chords

Released: 15 Aug 2019 Album: Texas Note: You can enhance the song by lifting of your fingers from the D and G strings while playing the Am chord shape. This of course following what is played. Marked this with Am* (ie play x0001x when you see Am*). You can also play the Gadd11 ((320013) chord where you see the Am* but I prefer just to just lift off the two fingers (easier, quicker and better sounding). Capo: No [Intro] Am Am* Am Am Am* Am [Verse 1]

You could see 'em at night in the cactus Jack.

Eating like kings nearly all day long,

Dodging that buckshot, singing that song.

Sittin' down singing them Caw Caw Blues.
