Such a great song…what a gift!
Mark Eilenberger says
It’s so nice to see correctly tabbed songs like this one.
I’ve been on this guitar for about 10 years now, started at age 45. I don’t have the ear to pull out the notes just by listening, so this is a big deal or me.
Thanks Jerry

Thank you Jerry. I’m an old guy but a new guitar player. One of the reasons I started playing guitar was because I wanted to learn to play John Prine songs. You are helping me do that and I appreciate it.

Thanks for this, Jerry. You’ve spotted a number of subtleties I’d missed when I learned (self-taught) Prine’s fingerpicking technique. Excellent lesson!!!

Thanks Jerry,
I too, am a fan of John Prine and third the motion for a John Prine Collection. My favorite song of his is ‘Angel From Mongomery’.

Shawn Davis says
Sure would like to see a John Prine collection become available. And if you did one I would sure like to learn “In Spite of ourselves, and How lucky can one man get. But all of his songs are good so anything you put in a collection would be great.

Love your John Prine series…… How about “That’s the way the world goes around”? I just can’t seem to get it exactly like the recording; close but not quite there. Great song to sing and play and a real crowd pleaser.
