I use UltimateGuitar.com every day, so I want to give 
something back.  If anyone has more Jimmy Driftwood
lyrics/chords, please post them!

As far as I can tell there is no C in the first verse 
of the chorus, as bad as I want to put one in there.

The intro and GDGG at the end of the chorus is my best
guess on how to follow the mandolin (turn-around?) part.

If this is wrong, please help me fix it!
