i first found this song in 1969 in the navy radio station at Hofn AFS,Iceland,recorded

it on a reel to reel tape,think i still have it. I think it's the greatest cowboy song ever

[HelluvaHunter]

great song

[promagnum]

I believe that's Luther Perkins on the bass tick-tack guitar. I may be mistaken.

Anybody know the chords to this?

[Buckthebigman]

@mozzocco1 look on Cowpie for a chart, it's pretty simple, basic 1-4-5 and a 6 m. I do it in A (Bass vocal, but I yodel quite a bit higher.)

[Boman247]

@mozzocco1

Hey try playing it with "C", "F", and "Am". I play it tuned a whole step down capo on first fret

[Moose407]

Wow, first I heard this. This was terrific.
