I personally love this song and really the entire album is great, most people know "Sunshine" and "Lay around the Shanty" but my favorite song on the album is probably this on, a nice little tune called "Athens County" You it that you can listen to. Anyway, i couldn't find the chords to this song anywhere on the internet, so i had to come up with them myself, they may not be entirely accurate but they sound good, and are pretty close if they're not right I play it in the key of G (because i have a G harmonica), the record is actually in G#, so throw a capo on the 1st fret and BINGO, you're there!
