Woody Guthrie - I Ain't Got Nobody

i ain't got nobody
ain't nobody got me
i'm just like a little apple
hangin' on the tree
don't nobody want me
i can plainly see
i ain't got nobody
and ain't nobody got me

i ain't got nobody
ain't nobody got me
i'm just like a chunk of wood
floatin' on the sea
don't nobody want me
i can plainly see
i ain't got nobody
and ain't nobody got me

@EstevanL ~It's music man, each person can play it how they want. Look at all those older country stars, they all changed music to more fit them, even the lyrics.

is good to listen to him,like said Dyla''make us feel that we are someone else''.This is omnly one guitar,I think Nick Dr\aake used dthis kind pof great thecnic to play,using the E,A,D, strings too much gross combinning good licks blues-based like on that wonderful song.

Hey there, @ProzorVerloc1,

It sounds like one guitar. If there are two guitars the second one is wasted effort. I can play it. It's in the key of B, the chords are B, E, and F#(7). I think it's capoed up two frets and played with the A, D, and E(7) chords. You could also play it capoed up four frets and using the G, C, and D(7) chords, but I don't think I ever hear the B notes at the 7th fret so I suspect played out of at capoed at 2nd fret.

@TheOlmecindian i think it's a guitar, bass, and harmonica.

[TheOlmecindian]

is it just him playing or 2 guitars ?

[WhileminaHarker]
