[B] has [E] turned to stone
[B] [F#] from ash to coal
[B] older soul to hand
where we can be free
from [E] all our trouble
[F#] I'll meet you there
[B] and journey's end
Ralph, [G]
I wonder if you could [N] show us that sneaky tickling of the strings
where you knock down on that first string
and then pull back up on it real fast
I think it especially happens in the high part of cutting the cornbread
I'll do my best, it's hard to get that little sneaky lick
you know, slow, but I'll get it as slow as I [Gm] can
[Em] [G]
I wonder if you could just slow this little Maggie
with the three finger style down a little bit
or a good deal
[F] [C]
[G]
[F] [C] [G] [N] Folks, this is father [G] and son
I'm Ralph Warren and he's Ralph too
with the Wildwood Flower
[D]
Shouting them loonies
You ready?
Lonesome, lonesome Ralph Yes
[N]
