On Top Of Old Smoky - Dave Van Ronk Chords

Chords: C, F, Am, Ghost

More chords by Dave Van Ronk

Genre: folk, blues, traditional

This is based off of the recording from the album 'Mayor of MacDougal Street:

Rarities 1957-1969'--

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm4r4fm8up0).

Standard tuning, capo on 4th fret.

I've also included the intro riff, the last three bars of which (seperated

with the asterisks below)

he repeats between each verse.

There is no set tempo, but for the verses he mainly just strums the chord

once.
