Venus Stopped The Train

I've Loved This Song For A Long Time And Have Never Found Chords Online That Fully Sounded Like The Amazing
Lonley Harmonies From The Recording. So I Finally Sat Down And Put In The Time To Learn It And I Think That
This Is Pretty Much Exactly How Jeff Plays It Solo Acoustic Based On Several Youtube Videos And A Recording
From His Substack. Any And All Thoughts Welcome. Enjoy!

A Few Notes On How Jeff Plays Some Of The Weirder Chords...
