  • right on @darke812!

  • Comment removed

  • This is one of my favorite version. Meditative.

  • tune rocks!

    

  • Too many fucking morons posting their political views here. SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU IDIOTS!!

    This is a phenominal version of this song. John hits the notes dead on and his voice sounds incredible. Absolutely incredible!

    For all you other ignorant fucks...if you don't like America-LEAVE. Or if you're not here, make sure never to come here...enough of you leaches trying to suck the blood out of this nation as it is! We don't want to me a minnie Mexico or India or where the fuck ever.

  • @darke812 Well said, brother...

  • Pretty much sums up the way north america is today.

  • Admittedly, I was contemnt not being involved for far too long. so now I am having to learn what I could have long ago. I'm in Vietnam and I don't have Fox news. I have CNN, Bloomberg, Australia news, but I know those are not the same. Don't get the wrong idea, I live here for many reasons, and politics has little to do with it. I cant say it has nothing to do with it though. It is a safe place to live and I'm sure politics has something to do with it.

  • i can do this song -but as as good as john does

  • John was never much of a guitar player but great singer. Don't know why he would just let someone else take this to another level. Oh well.

  • @onescope Just because someones' guitar playing is not flashy or intricate does not mean it is not good. The sound of the stumming acoustic is just what this song needs.

  • I want to have his baby.

  • @Aesafilms As oppposed to what? A war mongar right wing religious fanatic who has no compassion for anyone that is not rich and whos' soul purpose in life is to make make the rich richer and to rid the U.S. of anyone that is not a white hetrosexual church going christian?

  • too bad he is a hippee lib

  • @AesaFilms Doesnt look like a hippy to me. Whats wrong with being liberal? Liberal just means free thinking person tht wants change. do you think America doesnt need a change? People need to start doing something about our country instead of just calling people names.

  • @TheEmilio16 I'll tell yolu whats wrong with being Liberal. It isnt Liberal! its actually being progressive and the progressive movement is anything but. In fact it's quite ironic that I write this while listening to this song. The song implies, and I believe it is heartfelt on JCM's part, that America is bad. Well just like anything else America has it's bad points but the good we [meaning americans] do by far surpasses any bad that is done by our goverment.

  • @TheEmilio16 But, America is a Representative Republic and so we are the goverment. we all know someone who is a piece of crap, from school, the neighborhood, where ever and I'm sure you don't consider that person representative of your personal feelings or behavior, right.we have been asleep at the wheels my friends! We have allowed our government officials to become somewhat [becuase not all of them are like this] self serving. Anyway, the Liberal [progressive] agenda is not new.

  • @TheEmilio16 It is over 100 years in the making and it is rooted in removing a little bit at a time our personal liberties. thats the skinny on the healthcare bill. But just so you understand where republican and democrat fall in this scenario, the progressive movement was launched by Teddy Roosevelt, a republican. It was perverted massivly by Woodrow Wilson. this guys was a full blown dick! Did you know that he re-segregated black government employees?

  • @TheEmilio16 Did you know he put American citizens in concentration camps [he called them detainee camps] during WW1? Did you know that the Nazi's got thier propaganda agenda from the Woodrow Wilson administration? this story takes 100 yrs. but my point is that you don't know this shit because the progressive movement controls the printing and editing of school books [thats what is going on in TX] and they are re-writing this history.

  • @TheEmilio16 Do some research on "global Warmimg" and whtch how the progressives wiggle out of cracks in thier argument. Eventually they blame George Bush! Remember when we were kids and we said "he who smelt it, delt it" think logically about what i just laid down here.

  • @robiandolo I appreciate your replies. What can we do to improve the situation? Can we continue with the same political system? You seem to be quite knowlegeable and I would like to hear more of your thoughts. I'm sick of the current situation, but I mostly hear people complaining without becoming involved. Thanks again.

  • @TheEmilio16 This is the toughy! No doubt. but 1st and foremost don't be like AesaFilms. styudy those comments; loaded with hate. I think the mindset is "We just bought a clunker, rebuild the engine / tranny, new paint, interior etc". Get involved in local politics 1st.

  • @TheEmilio16 We always hear Obama this or that but notice how arizona kicked off a wave of states sueing the fed on healthcare and immigrantion. the constitution was designed to give the major lawmaking to states. the fed is sort of an umbrella. Prime responsibilities are National security [which include military-foreign affairs [as intelligence] and protecting the money supply] and sort of baby sit states so the kiddies don't fight.

  • @TheEmilio16 Most people and I was included in this thinking, thought Prez 1, tells govs 2 what to do etc. It woven into a complex matrix to avoid any 1 entity from being able to obtain enough power to create a singular power [dictatorship in some form]. the 1st challenge ios to listen to several news sources not related, yes fox is #1, to get a variety of opinions. don't judge whats going on, look to see what these guys have up there sleeve.

  • @TheEmilio16 This is 5 card stud and they always have an ace in the hole. Study how nancy p got the healthcare vote. its not about your for it or against it, its about how she set it up so the reps voted on a bill they didnt read, know what is said [good or bad]. I give kudos to the GOP becuase they voted no becuase they didnt know. Im guessing your on the young side [forgive me if im judging] and I think this is great. your the future.

  • @robiandolo Well, i am a young 41. Of course I wish I would have started educating myself earlier rather late than never. Being aware of what's happenimng is much easier now than even five years ago when even fewer people were trying to start where they can by spreading the word. You have some great ideas, and I do appreciate your time. Obviously, oe major problem with changing directions is ageeing on which direction in which to go. I suppose that is inherent, but should be left up to the...

  • @robiandolo majority. I'm currently living outside of the United States, and I get a unique view of wtching what's going on from the outside. This perspective is unique in that I can see America in comparison with the rest of the world which is not so easily done while living there. The media there tend to mostly ignore what's going on in many parts of the world. I'm just saying that's what I see, not passing judgement. In you are wondering, I reside in vietnam. i'm not socialist or communist...

  • @robiandolo I just have family here. I'm in a wheelchair, and living here is simply more comfortable for me. If i may veer off subject, living her has shown me that americans should take more of an interest in the foreign wars in which we allow our country to be involved. Peoples lives can be affected far more seriously amnd much longer than I and many other people would have imagined. Thanks again for your in-depth and educated responses. I will take your advice to the heart.

  • @TheEmilio16 Thanks for the kind words1 41 is a great age I guess i thought you were younger because of your questions. I didnt startr educating myself until mid 40's so.... Try watching glenn beck. People say hes crazy and other things but he lays out the truth. He uses there own words which is why it is such a powerful show.

    anyway good luck and thank you for being concerned for the US. we need everyone to covet this place and life style.

  • @robiandolo This is not my country so I don't get involved. However, I do like to tell Americans what it is like here, because too many people have the wrong idea about many things. If people are going to judge, and they will, they should at least know the facts. Things were very different here in the recent past, but many changes have taken place. It's really a shame, but there are students here that know our Constitution better than most Americans. I know a law student who studeies it in uni.

  • @TheEmilio16 That was a ripoff but too many young folks are being misled by ideologic retoric. Your being targeted, but your no schmucks your all smart. this is a shell game. both sides play, think about what the prize is and check out each sides strategy. Right now Obama is killing us with czars that are creating regulations that reaaly should be laws the congress should be enacting [or not]. He is trying an end around. hes being slick. In the schoolyard this guy got his ass kicked. right!

  • I'll finish in the general comments this gets to be a pia.

  • @TheEmilio16 the people complaining are largely on the left and if you study you'll see they are starting to argue amogst themselves. It's what the progressives are trying to do. look for video of van jones [I hate this guy]. He is a communist. Im not name calling he is self described. he says bottom up, top down, inside out.

  • @TheEmilio16 They want civil unrest. this sounds stupid but just as Chancellor Palpatine [and Hitler] did in Star Wars; call for the concentration of power overall entities until the civil unrest has been calmed! this movement has occured in the past here and you can see that a complex arrangement of govt makes it almost impossible to have total control.

  • @TheEmilio16 Finally: Look into a LIBERTARIAN POV! This is where we all need to be. Freedom to try and succeed or fail if thats what our destiny is. Bottom line: satisfy the majority not the minority of people. 80% of us will carry halfd of the other 20% just cause we're good guys. No one, in anything in life makes everyone happy.

    Thanks for asking and thanks for being someone who will make a diffence! happy new year.

  • Can anyone tell me the chords to this song with a capo like he is playing

  • @MrBuc128 capo on the 5th fret play D C & G shapes then an A for the turnaround. But he the plays C and the G slightly different like in the intro to Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama....you'll work it out

  • @MrBuc128 If you can not pick it up from just listening then put the guitar down,.

  • Comment removed

  • @onescope Hey onescope I play guitar for my own pleasure and I have not been playing long i'm not a frustrated musician like you. Keep your advice to yourself

  • love this

  • just a guitar and a voice, thank u , johnny, check me out, im guitar and mic also

  • WOW HE KILLED IT

  • if you view all the other knobs trying to cover this you on utube you very quickly appreciatte how mellencamp makes it seem so easy....

  • Wow this sucks. The guitar is what makes the original so great. Its a great riff.

  • I am a Mellencamp fan, love this song; but I don't dig this capoed version

  • I love this song too and I just discovered this acoustic version recently. Apparently it was Re-released in 2005? I like this version with the capo on the fifth fret better! (No offense to you) Maybe I like it better because it's different that the studio version and plus I love versions of songs that are stripped down.

  • r.a.w. just a guitar and a mike simple!

  • lol is that the mum from home alone?!

  • That's Delia from Beetle Juice.....

  • Dennis not a small world! After all I know who you are friend..!
