capo 2nd fret

this is pretty funny song , and a fun one too! it still makes me laugh ,
even after hearing it so many times since 2007 . it sounds correct to me ,
but in a way i almost feel as if the chords should be played at higher
frets . maybe that’s because of the mandolin intro and banjo throughout the
song . but if i did make any mistakes , please comment and i will correct it!
be sure to check out corb lund’s new album too , cabin fever ; ) i personally
love it . please rate , comment , and enjoy!
