Robert Earl Keen Jr – Gringo Honeymoon chords
Chords:
I don't use bar chords for this, for Bm I like the 003321 (capo III). I wrote this out to have the whole song w/ lyrics, the chords are the same as anybody. Don't worry about being on the beat with your singing, it works well with this style of music.
