guitar reviews


This is a great song of the Old Crow Medicine Show's album Big Iron World. I dig the vocal
harmony's and even solo on a acoustic guitar  you can add little fiddly bits to liven it up.
The chords are written using the shape, though on the record they use a capo on the 3rd fret.
Enjoy .

To spice it up a little I like to do a ascending fifth run down from the fifth  fret on the
high E when you do a D chord, from the fifth fret to the third to the second to 0 fret and
then accent on the root note the octave above the bass, it kind of mimics the fiddle on the
record, then just pick the G chord and hammer on 0-2 fret on the A string to fill the parts
where there is no singing.

I just heard the awful news
D                      G
I can steer around the rocks

And the work’s gotten’ slow
D                        G
Now where’s a boatman to go

Chorus
Bm                          G
I’ll think  I’ll float on down
Bm          G
To Richmond Town
Bm                   G
They don’t need us anymore
                                                                               Bm

I’ll be stepping out tonight

From the ridge , to the ledge
Bm                     G
From the hills, to the sea

I’ll become, a memory
