Piney Wood Hills is one of Buffy Sainte Marie's early country hits (1970)
which I transcribed from the record The Best of Buffy Sainte Marie. The
only exciting trick I can suggest for playing it is to slide around the
chords in the chorus, from the chords given to the chords in brackets. If
this is to complicated, don't worry - just ignore the bracketed stuff.
Also, by "A3-4-3" I mean play the normal A chord, then add the "D" on the
third fret of the B string, then go back to the normal A chord again. If
this is too complicated, ignore it too.
Have fun =) Vanessa Kay flowermonster@priest.com
