I've looked for ages trying to find the chords for this song, but had no luck, then while listening to the song, I started strumming and picked up the chords. They really are this easy! Apologies for the strange sequence names. They are what I call the parts of the song. When you hear it, though, you'll understand them. They are in order, anyway. The guitar solo is a bit too complex for me to tab. Maybe someone will get 'round to it ;) Edited 16/03/2006. I don't think my head was screwed on before. It's right now. In the live version of Choctaw Hayride, the song starts with Dan picking the bass E string whilst the dobro plays the intro. Intro chord sequence: ===================== Em (tacit) | A | Em | A | D | Em (sharp stop) Main 'verse' chord sequence: ============================ Em | A | Em | A | C | G 'Chorus' chord sequence: ======================== G | D | C | D | C | D | C | G Banjo solo chords: ================== Em | A | Em | A | C | Em Fiddle/guitar solo chords: ========================== Em | A | Em | A | C | Em (same as Banjo solo) Second 'chorus' chords: ======================= G | D | Em | C G | D | G | C G | D | Em | C G | D (Band stop) G | D | C (Stop again) *An alternative here would be to miss out the second G and carry the D through, but they both sound fine. Ending: ======= (Banjo and dobro play alone, then) G | C* | G | C** | G*** * Two bars, i.e. seven strums ** Three bars, i.e. eleven strums *** Sharp stop, one strum ~~ Comments and corrections gratefully accepted!
