Topic: This Just Ain't No Good Day For Leavin' Chords?

Hello,

Do somebody knows the chords for "This Just Ain't No Good Day For Leavin'"?
It's hard to see something about this song...

Here's one of my favorite version (I really like Lefty Frizzell version too):

The changes are not that hard the song is in the key of C and it modulates to  C#  basic changes are C  F  G and Am and It modulates to C# F# G# Bm try these when you play along to it if you have trouble modulating to the C# just stay in C

Thanks,

Yeah, I heard the C chord... At the starting it's a hammer off on the second fret of B string, then we play C and the song start...

Though I'm a bit off...

[C]                                      [F]
The handle on my suitcase is coming off again
etc?

It sounds like there's 3 guitars (2 acoustic and one electric), that's why I have difficulties..

How will you play it for a single guitar?

I just strum it on my acoustic the meter is like 1&2&3&4& sort of like a polka rhythm in 2/4 time, on 1 pluck the A string on & play the rest of the chord in C  when you change to F pluck the 4th string on 1 and the rest on & same with the Am G pluck the root bass string first then the rest on the & keep in mind  some of the chord changes are less then a bar but if you use the chords given above you'll be close enough to play and sing along with the audio
