Standard tuning
Capo on 2nd fret
Corb Lund plays his chords "campfire style", so for a C chord
play C/G by fretting the low E string on the 3rd fret and for
F (and similar shaped barre chords) don't play the low E string
and only barre the two highest strings with the index finger.
(Notes in brackets ... only play bass note)
On the Am at the end of the third line in each verse, hammer on
the 2nd fret of the D string to play it like Corb does

Just a few corrections and this tab is bang on!
First: At the end of the first line in every verse EXCEPT the first and last verses, the chord should go back to C, not G
Second: The first Am in the third line of every verse should be an F. Followed by C (B) and Am
