          E    
I got a guitar all my own
A
Got a quarter for the telephone
E B7 A E
I ain't headed down this highway all alone
E
One, two, three and maybe four
A
Honey they're knocking on my door
E B7 A E
Well you know I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone

Ain't got no Daddy but I got a Ma
I think she lives in Arkansas
Well I might just go and see her some old day
It ain't like she'd really care
Ain't like she'd pay the fair
But I might just blow on through there anyway
Headed down to Alabam
Cause some trouble if I can
Old buddy would you like to come along
It's a place I've never been
Oh you know I could use a friend
They say they'll give us 20 bucks a song
I got a guitar all my own
Got a quarter for the telephone
Ain't headed down this highway all alone
One, two, three and maybe four
Honey they're knocking on my door
I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

This is played in standard tuning. The first E chord in each verse is alternated from E to E7,
back to E and so on. The first A chord in each verse is played with all of the guitar strings
open, then he hammers the entire A chord on to the open strings. The most important part of
the sound is after each A chord is played, he walks down to the E chord with a G bass note.
That little walk-down is the hook of the song in my opinion.

This is pretty simple, kind of a blues progression. What makes it difficult is the finger picking
style that Townes uses when he plays it. It's the typical folk pattern, fingers play the high
strings with the thumb playing alternating bass notes, but there are a lot of little intricate things
that he does to make it sound good. I haven't been able to find it anywhere, so If anyone can
tab it, let me know-----------Jeff
