Biography:
Dan Bern (aka Bernstein, a name under which he sometimes performs) is a guitarist, singer, songwriter, and painter. His music is often compared to that of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello. His song "Talkin' Woody, Bob, Bruce, and Dan Blues," from the album Smartie Mine, offers a joking take on this influence, presented in the style of a Guthrie or Dylan talking blues song, and containing a spoof of a Dylan song as well.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is my first ever crack at doing this, I hope the format is acceptable
and the 'transcription' is useful. The web needs more Dan Bern tabs/chords
so I'm just trying to do my part despite it's probable imperfection. Dan
probably plays it capoed or drop D or both but this will get you through
the campfire singalong safely.
All chords are barred as I play it.
