Apalachicola by Gillian Welch (and Dave Rawlings)
from Boots No. 2: The Lost Songs, Vol. 1

Play with a slow shuffle feel.  Carter scratch-style: bass notes, sometimes alternating, on the 1 and 3 and
strums on the 2, 3&, 4, 4&.  Sometimes she walks bass notes from one chord to another in the last half of a
bar.

      = 320003
 = 320013
    = 332010
      = x32010
     = x00212
    = x13121

Play the G with the middle, ring, and pinky fingers, then drop the index onto the first fret of the B string
to move back and forth from the G and Gadd11.
