Chords for Carl Holzapfel 12 string playing Wildwood Flower

_ Somewhere around the turn of the century a fellow named Carl Hossenfeld had a little
guitar building shop in Maryland _ and built great 12 string guitars that look something
like this, actually it looks just like this.
This was a guitar built by his son, later somewhere around 1950, but it's exactly the same dimensions.
