Based off one of his videos, I dunno which one. This is how I play it and it works
pretty well. Feel free to add input in the comments.
SHAKEY GRAVES--CHINATOWN
--CAPO 1--
Intro: C/G C7 F C walkdown to Am F G G7
C/G
This heart of mine keeps decent time
C7
Though my ears may be weak
F
And my eyes may be all but blind
C C/B Am
I still have sense enough to hear
F G G7
And I'm not much without you near
C/G
I've paid my dues
Done one or two
C7 F
But still it keeps a boiling down to you
C C/B Am
So choose to be my victory, or vice
F G
Oh either way I still want you here tonight
Dm G Dm G
Heaven knows it's hard to find another
E C C/B Am
Oh hell knows it's got a home for folks like me
F
There will come a day
G
When the earth will cease to spin
F
You'll hold me close and say
G
My god where have you been?
C/G
I've been around, old Chinatown
C7 F
Happily lost but oh so easily found
C C/B Am
They're counting the stars above the hill
F G (Optional G7)
'Neath some old moon, humming my tune
C
I'll see you soon
The C at the end could be wrong. I usually just repeat the verse structure and
repeat the line "I'll see you soon" until a proper ending, but if you wanna get
jazzy with it go for it.
