Alison Krauss - CHOCTAW HAYRIDE guitar chord
I've looked for ages trying to find the chords for this song, but had no
luck, then while listening to the song, I started strumming and picked up
the chords. They really are this easy!
Apologies for the strange sequence names. They are what I call the parts of
the song. When you hear it, though, you'll understand them. They are in
order, anyway.
The guitar solo is a bit too complex for me to tab. Maybe someone will
get 'round to it ;)
Edited 16/03/2006. I don't think my head was screwed on before. It's right now.
In the live version of Choctaw Hayride, the song starts with Dan picking
the bass E string whilst the dobro plays the intro.
Intro chord sequence:
=====================
Em (tacit) | A | Em | A | D | Em (sharp stop)
Main 'verse' chord sequence:
============================
Em | A | Em | A | C | G
'Chorus' chord sequence:
========================
G | D | C | D | C | D | C | G
Banjo solo chords:
==================
Em | A | Em | A | C | Em
Fiddle/guitar solo chords:
==========================
Em | A | Em | A | C | Em (same as Banjo solo)
Second 'chorus' chords:
=======================
G | D | Em | C
G | D | G | C
G | D | Em | C
G | D (Band stop)
G | D | C (Stop again)
*An alternative here would be to miss out the second G and carry the D
through, but they both sound fine.
Ending:
=======
(Banjo and dobro play alone, then)
G | C* | G | C** | G***
* Two bars, i.e. seven strums
** Three bars, i.e. eleven strums
*** Sharp stop, one strum
