Leaves

Leaves - Hey Joe guitar chord

#

Subject: ./l/leaves/hey_joe.crd

As far as anyone can tell (cf. _Goldmine_ #195), the Leaves were the first

to record this much-covered 60's icon (as 'Hey Joe, Where You Gonna Go' in

1965). The hit version (Mira 222; #31 in July, 1966) presented here is a

subsequent re-recording. --AWR
