Driftin Chords
by Mike McClure
Driftin by Mike McClure is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of C. It uses the chords C, Am, F and G. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
the chords are simple but the song is finger picked,,i just go with how i think it feels and dont realy concentrate on the exact notes,
just a little roll threw the notes of the chords will work for this song. ok for the walk down from C to Am do..

I'm just trying to scrape up a few dimes and pay the fiddle
