Tecumseh Valley chords & tabs

C                F        C
The name she gave was Caroline
F                 C
The daughter of a miner
        F
And her ways were free
       C      Em/B   Am
And it seemed to     me
         G                 F        C
That the sunshine walked beside her

She come from Spencer, across the hill
She said her pa had sent her
Cause the coal was low
And soon the snow
Would turn the skies to winter.

Artist: Townes Van Zandt
Song: Tecumseh Valley

 Note: This is the way that Townes plays it. He wrote it on the banjo so 
       It makes sense that you Travis pick this song. On the G intro you
       Travis pick and hamer on the 5th string with you middle finger.
       when the verse starts alternate thumbpicking the 6th and 4th string
       with a hammer on every half measure on the 5th string with middle finger
       watch the Townes private concert video version on Youtube, it will help.
       (the extra letters in the lyric show where to sing longer, 
         the dots show where to pause and not sing) same pattern for all verses
