Well, I have a gig Saturday, and they texted me to ask me to learn it.
My plan WAS to get home and practice it before leaving. BUTsome idiot a decided to stage a huge wreck Wednesday, and my practice time evaporated (70 was closed for 2.5 hours in Cambridge Oh).
Does anybody have a chord chart? I'm thinking an hour with the chart and a video ought to do it.
Many thanks

Just watched Willie's old footage on the Porter Wagoner show and he played it in E, using the I/IV/V thing but the accidental is a D major chord, that is unless he had a funny tuning!

I dig that bVII chord.
I'd still like to see a chart, just seems better if I won't get a chance to play it beforehand..

Thanks, Scott, but I work better bar by bar.
I pulled up the same video and, remembering that the more of your brain you involve in a project, the better it sinks in.
So (for those of you concerned about safety, AFTER I got done driving) I wrote my own chart.
See if I have this right (disregarding the E vamp before singing starts)
A part
E E D D B B E B
E E D D B B E E
B part
A A E E F# F# B B
E E D D B B E E

| Yep, that's it--only exception being maybe no 5 (B) at the end of the first line. In the recording I have of it, on the "The Offenders" album (Willie, Jimmy Day, Johnny Bush, and David Zettner), they just hang on the 1. |

| Looks right to me - you can self-insure against getting the B at the end of the first 8 measures of the A part figure wrong by suspending a B and relaxing the suspension one way or the other. A Bsus4 and an Esus2 work out about the same and you can resolve it to the right chord becomes apparent from what everyone else is doing. |
