Standard tuning, no capo. This is an unreleased song that can only be found on the Music from the North 
Country anthology. Best played with a 2nd guitar picking around the same chords, and of course a harmonica.
Also the lyrics to this are really hard to make out and don't exist online, so in two places I took my best
guess regarding what Gary is mumbling. Sorry Gary!
