Or else I might be bad F G C F G C Am F G C C F C (arpeggios) _____________________________________________________________________________ There are numerous walk-ups/walk-downs that are pretty obvious in the recording so I include them. Folk music isn't about being exactly precise, it's about taking an established tune making it your own so if you can figure out the different intricacies of the song, swell, but if you can't, just do what you can and make it your own. As always listen to the recording while you're playing along and feel free to embellish chords with hammers and pulls and so forth.
