Car Wheels on a Gravel Road (now with new, improved melody notes)

There were a ton of great musicians born in January! This month we covered Iris Dement, Joan Baez and Dolly Parton, but we left out Janis Joplin, Earl Scruggs, David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Allan Toussaint, Etta James, Jim Croce, Steve Earl, Warren Zevon, Stephen Stills, Country Joe McDonald and Huddie Ledbetter. (We'll get you guys next year.)

Last night we celebrated Lucinda Williams' 65th birthday by playing her breakout hit, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road.

Melody notes after the chorus:

G  A  Bb  A  G  E  G  A  G

At the link is a new chord sheet for Car Wheels. I suggest making the other one into automobile origami.

Next Friday (February 2nd) is a rehearsal for Paul Henry's open mic, so pick your favorite 4 songs and we'll polish them to a high gloss for the 8th. 🙂
