A Long Row To Hoe

Basic Guitar Chords & Lyrics for A Long Row To Hoe by Blue Highway

All G Chords Should Be Played As "Bluegrass G Chord": 3X0033 With The Middle Finger Fretting The 6Th String
Flattened Out To Mute The 5Th String. This Song Is "Modal", Which In Bluegrass Music Means That The Key (G)
Sits Between Minor And Major, So Playing The G Chord Without Any Thirds Maintains The Modal Sound.

On The Recording, The Band Cuts Out During Verses 1 And 4 Leaving Only The Vocals And A Banjo Roll.
The Chords Written There Are For The Banjo, If Present.
