Chords for 1939 Martin D-28 played by Steve Earle featuring "Goodby Michelangelo"

[E] _ What we have here is a 1939 D28 and I don't know you know like pre-war Martins or pre-war Martins
And they're kind of you know people talk about it, but until you played one
I don't think there's any way [A] to describe it
[C]
You know I've played a lot of Martins made after the war that I loved and were great guitars and Martins making probably as good
As guitars as they've ever made right now at this instance
They really are building great stuff
But these things are special
Part of it's because of when they were made part of [A] it's because they're just dulled and there's something about the way [Ab] that old
Guitar sound I think both things are true this [C] guitar
I think the bridge and the bridge plate had been replaced the rest of its pretty [N] straight pre original, but it's a
1939 and I had a 39 D18 that uh that I let go to get I've got a 1935 D28 but
I let that my
39D18 go to get that but there's sort of a thing about these guitars and a belief
I used to hold about them that that Martin dreadknots were one-trick ponies that what [G] they did was you know basically this
_ _ And this is a bluegrass monster no doubt [C] about it, [G] but but when you I discovered when I made this last record
I used to [Am] my
Pre-war dreadnought on it
And I used it for every track on the record including the finger picking stuff
And I've been going to smaller guitars for finger picking numbers for years
I couldn't get rid of every single
You know other acoustic guitar that I own besides my you know my Martin dreadnought my [C] my old one because
There's a thing about when you put a capo on [F] them
[C] _
They're incredibly balanced you get capoed up the neck and start doing the kind of things
I do when I'm finger picking on a guitar
I'll I'll use the capo and shorten the scale on the guitar not so much because of
Getting it into a key
I can sing it in but to get the guitar up to where I get these different tones out of it that I think work
Great for finger picking so this is on the [Dm] new record and I I played it on my my pre-war dreadnought on the record
So I have a feeling it's gonna sound good on this one, _ too
