CEDARTOWN GEORGIA
as recorded on CEDARTOWN GEORGIA, a 1971 album by WAYLON JENNINGS
Notes: Use single downstrokes for D A E and D E A parts,
I put the changes as accurately as possible in relation
to the lyrics. I use a single B chord and let ring during the words,
then start strumming again at E (after bass riff).
[Intro]

Got a little house in the South French Quarter (bass riff)
[Verse 2]
Got a Ejob hookin' bales, load em' on a DsteamAboatE  
I give her Eseven days pay, and the next day DI'm AbrokeE  
When Ashe ain't sleeping all day, she's a DprimEpin'A  
F#Every evening when the sun goes down
                         BN.C.                   B7
