Standard tuning
Capo on 2nd fret
Corb Lund plays his chords "campfire style", so for a C chord
play C/G by fretting the low E string on the 3rd fret and for
F (and similar shaped barre chords) don't play the low E string
and only barre the two highest strings with the index finger.
(Notes in brackets ... only play bass note)
On the Am at the end of the third line in each verse, hammer on 
the 2nd fret of the D string to play it like Corb does.
CThis is my prairie, Fthis is my Ghome
