The Fiddle Drones D Through The Intro And First Chorus, So The C Chords Could Be Cadd9.
In The First And Third Lines Of The Verse, The Vocals Go To A C Before The Chord Change,
Making A Sound Like A D7. I've Written What I Think The Banjo Plays,
But You Could Also Play D -> D7 -> C.

Now If You See Me Standing On My Porch
With A 44 In My Hand
Go Tell Them All That I’ve Killed Myself

I Never Will Listen What Another Man Says
Let His Hair Be Black Or Brown
Unless He’s On Some Scaffold High
Saying “Darling, I Wish To Come Down.”

You Promised You’d Be My Blue-Eyed Boy
While The Sun Sank In The West
