Everytime I hear this I feel sad, because even though I haven't left Tennessee I know how she feels. How could I ever leave these beautiful Smoky Mountains behind? It just seems impossible.
Dolly uses an open tuning on her guitar that doesn't require a lot of fingering technique, which allows her to play with the long ol' nails. What a natural she is! Born entertainer. Every movement, every inflection just comes out so smoothly. I know it's hours and hours of practice, but still, few people can knock out a song like she can.
She is so great just with an acoustic guitar and no fancy studio work. She has her fame and all that, but she sure can nail a song like nobody else. Her later stuff is just getting better and better.
This is one of my favorite songs! Dolly is my hero and all time favorite singer ever! my mom says i was born in the wrong year, bc she calls me the country girl of the city, bc this is what i have listened to since i was little and i am not a big fan of the rap and all that crap. Simply Country is the best way to go on this! Love you DOLLY!
I was born and raised on 200 acres. My home was erased by a coal co. This song, definitely, makes me feel little and sad, because I will never, again, see it as it once was. Watch "The Trip to Bountiful". Then ask me how I feel about this song. Then ask how I feel about "The Trip to Bountiful". God bless Horton Foote. God bless Dolly.
ah this song is really beautifull, she looks really cool in this video, the lenght of dollys finger nails in this how can she play the guitar with then ha
They are like built in picks arent they? LOL She actually just open chords everything...but I have seen her in other videos do some actual real chording with her left hand..but her nails were shorter..she actually can play pretty dang good!
what a nails

Yeah, anyone know the tuning? I've seriously tried almost everything - open C works but that is without the capo...
