Ok guys heres my version of Old man down the road!
The E7 can also be played as a Em and it still sounds right!
Intro:
Use a clear tone with bridge pickup I find works the best, no effects or
fancy tools needed!

Verse 1 Play chords nice and jumpy
He take-a thunder from the mountain
He take-a lightnin from the sky
He bring the strong man to his beggin knees
He make the young girl s mama cry
CHORUS:
You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump and run
You got to hidey-hidey-hide
The old man is down the road
Verse 2:
He got the voices speakin riddles
He got eyes as black as coal
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
And he stands right in the road
CHORUS
John sinstrumental..... same pattern as chorus
Verse 3:
He make the river call your lover
He make the barking of the hound
Put a shadow cross the window
When the old man comes around
Chorus(last line twice)
Now for some of the riffs used.. i think you can figure out where.
These are not fully correct, I mainly improvise them.
