There are only 4 chords, G, Cmadd9, D and Em but the last two stings you keep on the 3rd frets. The chords should look like this. E A D G B E G: 3 2 0 0 3 3 ch /ch Cmadd9: 0 3 2 0 3 3 D: 0 0 0 2 3 2 Em: 0 2 2 0 3 3 ch /ch G Cmadd9 It sets above the mantel on a couple rusty nails G It's not worth a lot of money ch /ch Cmadd9 But it damn sure ain't for sale ch /ch D Cmadd9 The good lord only knows all the stories it could tell G ( I add a Cmadd9 but its optional) My Granddaddy's gun ch /ch G Cmadd9 He bought it new out of the sears and robuck catalog ch /ch G Cmadd9 And it shot a many shells over the back of an old bird dog ch /ch D Cmadd9 And it backed a burglar down when grandma took the safety off G Granddaddy's gun.
