Go through sunday (slow version)
I don't really claim that this is spot on but I think it works through
most parts. Jim mumbles a large portion of the lyrics and I'm not a
native american so if you notice any words that I got totally wrong
feel free to comment. The same applys concerning the chords. My main
goal was to get Jim Ford up on UG so some musical person can become
interested and maybe supply chords for some of his other fantastic
songs (Big mouth USA and Harlan County would be really nice for
example). Now, this is what I worked out:
C G
The candles burn, the cycles turn
Am G
Another day comes here to learn
