Chords for 11. New Cut Road (2004 Reissue Bonus Track) - Emmylou Harris

_ I'd like to do a song that was written by a friend of mine. _
His name is Guy Clark.
_ _ And _ [C#] he recorded it and then Bobby Bear recorded it,
had a big hit with it.
[G] Boy, when I heard that song,
I was so mad that I didn't do a verse.
_ It's a great song.
It has lots and lots of verses.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _
And I've only ventured to do it once,
and I remembered them all, so.
_ We'll see if I can keep my batting average up
with this one.
And we decided to do this [D] song a little different
from the way everybody else has done it.
So the most different thing we could think of
was an accordion. _ _
_ _ And Guy Clark is not speaking to me,
but we're gonna do it anyway.
