Chords

Artist: Steve Earle Song: Over Yonder (Jonathan's Song) Album Version: Transcendental Blues Capo: IV *Steve plays a combination of G and Gsus4 along with a variety of other variations on his chords. He also plays a Travis picking style that very rarely if ever hits the high "e" string. Enjoy!!!* [INTRO] C F C G [VERSE]
