Nice Bluegrass-ish tune from the Musical Chairs Album for all redneck wannabes out there
Album track is played relatively slow but live they turn it up several notches. Best to
slow and work your speed up. Listen to the track for the timing.
During the Chorus and bridge there are some minor steel guitar licks mixed with the
and violin but I havent put them on here. They are relatively simple (3-4 notes just as the
riff ends) so if someone wants to add them later then feel free. Alternatively
you can just wing it like I tend to do.
Main Riff:
This is played throughout the Verses 1 & 2 but is not played when verse 1 is repeated

Chorus Chords:
[Verse 1]
-------
Robin, Robin in the tree
Wont you come down here and rescue me
Cause theres someplace else I gotta be
And you can stand in for me for a while
Come on now hurry down
No time to play around
I need someone to walk this mile
She jumped and said like a child
[Chorus 1]
Love is gone but now I see
You ve got to capture me to set me free
[Verse 2]
Miss Mina came to me in a dream
She said, boy come and walk with me
Theres someplace else Ive gotta see
So we strolled along the mountain high
She called me boy my friend
And I wondered if or even when
Id see Greta and my Rose again
The time has come for dealing
[Chorus 2]
Lessons learned and now I see
You ve got to capture me to set me free
[Bridge]
And I flew on the wings of a bird
And I whispered names of girls I once knew
Then she disappeared into a fallen stream
[Verse 1]
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[End]
