Chords: Am, G, Em, A, C/G, F, D, Em7
More chords by Beck
Genre: grunge, alternative, indie
There is only one known performance of this song (live on the Morning Becomes
Eclectic radio show on KCRW
on January 6, 1995). It's not on any album, but you can find it on YouTube.
The picking, the number of bars, and the timing are pretty free, as you would
expect from a song (supposedly)
from the 19th century. Also, the words are sometimes hard to hear.
In the recording, the guitar is tuned down half a step.

Going from Am to G is usually done by walking over F# in the bass.
