The Old Black Rum chords & tabs

The chordings for all the other versions of this song didn't sound right to me.  So I
decided to try it myself.  The song has a root of
F major, so all the chords are in relations.

Thanks to Tim & Cheryl Wartman for doing the original chording and words.

Standard Tuning

Enjoy!
