Chords
as recorded on CEDARTOWN GEORGIA, a 1971 album by WAYLON JENNINGS
Notes: Use single downstrokes for D A E and D E A parts,
I put the changes as accurately as possible in relation
to the lyrics. I use a single B chord and let ring during the words,
then start strumming again at E (after bass riff).
