  19 daughter-in-law). Other recordings by Roy Rogers and Jimmie Davis.<br />

  25 <p>The chords can be played as indicated in the tab of the intro, but it
  26 will only &ldquo;work&rdquo; if you have a bass player (the same goes for the

  28 the full 9th chords somewhere else. These are just suggestions:</p>
