some easy open chords:

EADgbe
------------------
Am 002210
Bm xx4432
C 032010
D x00232
D7 x00212
D7 x30232
Em 022000
Em7 020000
G 320003
G6 320000 aka G + e in soprano; or simply use Em7
G7 320001
GM7 320002

In this arrangement, the gentle soprano melody do - ti - la - ti
plays on the upper e-string in the G - GM7 - G6 - GM7 sequence
throughout the piece, and can easily be plucked between strums.

"Hill Country Rain", Ryko disc RCD 10241, is an awesome album from
an awesome performer who has never lost his integrity - instead, he
generally chose to lose either his wife or his sobriety.

Anther version of this song in C is available at
olga.../s/smith_michael_peter/the_dutchman.crd, submitted by Denny
Straussfogel. My arrangement puts the piece in G (with the chorus
in C) and then capo's it up to B-flat major, to match Jerry Jeff.
