Chords
From 2020 album First Rose of Spring. Incidentally his 70th studio album.
This song is a variation of a song Bummin Around, recorded by Jimmy Dean and reaching #5 in 1952.
N.C. means no chord. There is a quick riff at the end of the bridge which can be played as single strike
chords and to close the song there is a run down from D note to an A note, so maybe try A string 5th fret
to A string 12th fret. Whilst this song is tabbed for novice players, the addition of a lead player would
enhance the song.
