Chords for David Holt and The Okee Dokee Brothers

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] We're in Asheville, North Carolina, sitting here with our friend David Holt, who's going
to talk to us today a little bit about Appalachian music.
What exactly attracted you to Appalachian music?
Well, I like to call it mountain music, because mountain music encompasses all these genres
[G] of bluegrass and the old [E] time.
The music itself is so powerful.
You can have [A] things that are just fun, like Cripple Creek, you [G] know, just a fun song. _
_ _ _ _ _ Or you can have [D] things that have a lot of depth and [G] soulfulness.
I've [D] had nothing but trouble _ [A] in my life.
[D] _ Let's try it together.
_ _ [A] _
And the [F#m] rhythms.
I love rhythm.
Anything that's like [D] drumming, I love.
This is the washboard.
Now, it [D] wasn't made to be a musical instrument, but probably in the 1860s, people figured
out, hey, you could play this.
Put thimbles on your fingers, [C] put a little wood block down here at the bottom just to
hollow it out two by four, nothing you buy.
An old tin cup.
And there [Am] you got _ [C] your home entertainment center for the [E] 1870s.
The first instrument I ever learned, [D] along with the bones, were the spoons.
But you just take regular kitchen spoons and hold one between your thumb and your first
finger, get the next one [A] upside down with your pointer finger in between, hold tightly
back [N] here, put it down on your leg, go back and forth and get the next [G] finger.
_ _ [C] _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ [G] My dad, like I said, played [D]
the spoons and the bones.
But the bones are, I guess, the most unusual [Dm] thing to me.
They are [G] just rib bones [E] from a cow.
So they [C] sound like this.
[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
All right.
[D] Nice.
That's pretty good.
Let me show you this cool instrument.
It's called a mouth bow.
And it's an old mountain instrument.
In fact, it's the oldest stringed instrument in the world and still played here in the mountains. _
So it's just a stick with a string on it. [G] That's it.
It sounds like this.
_ _ _ _ [C#m] Now, some people think it sounds like [Fm] what's called a jaw harp.
[E] This is a little metal thing and you hold it up against your teeth.
Leave a space between [G] your teeth.
Otherwise, this little triangle will make one for you.
Hold it up there and you pull it back. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So it has, well, you can make funny [Gm] sounds with it [C] _
like_
[A] Or you can play tunes with it like [G] this old tune called Sally Goodin.
_ _ _ _ _ Well, a little piece of pie, a little piece of pudding, gave it all away to see Sally Goodin.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
This is like the [B] very early style of mountain banjos.
And you can see it has no metal dividers on the neck, no frets.
So you have to [Gm] just slide in the notes.
[D] _ _ _ _ _
[B] Here's an old song that I learned from Doc Watson called Georgie Buck. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ That's what the banjo sounded like maybe 130 years ago.
I like that.
So the same man that taught me how to play the mouth bow or showed me how to make one
also played the paper [G] bag.
[F#] The paper bag.
And he used it for [G] a drum, basically, [E] like a mountain drum.
You just put a little air in a paper bag, [D] grab it up here at the top, _ [E] and then you just
hit it with your hand like this.
_ _ _ [D] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Pretty [F#m] solid bag.
Just don't do that with your lunch in it still.
_ _ [G] _
_ [D] The sun's gonna shine [A] in my back [D] door someday. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [N] _
