Chord/Tab song: I'm Just A Country Boy

Released July 20, 1977
Written By: Fred Hellerman & Marshall Baker
Produced By: Don Williams

This is my interpretation with a great deal of "help" from my teacher Joe Kuykendall.

The first verse is strummed slowly, each chord only once. The subsequent verses have a
couple of additional chords that are left out in the first verse.
