Mean World Blues - Dave Van Ronk Chords
Chords: Am., G6, G, G7, Am, C/D, C
More chords by Dave Van Ronk
Genre: blues, folk, acoustic
The C into Am in the last lines has a bend on the G string when you hit the
Am.
This is roughly the G6 pattern throughout the song. He still travis picks the
bass of the other chords but the
changes are fast so he mostly strums/hits the high notes so there's not much
of a pattern to follow on those.
