                    Chewing Gum - The Carter Family
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||

This is a catchy little number by the Carter Family.  This is my attempt at a tab
for this song as played on disc 1 of the In the Shadow of Clinch mountain boxset.

This song in the key of E. It seems that this is played out of the F position
with the guitar tuned down 1/2 step.

Tuning: 1/2 step down (D#G#C#F#A#D#)

Mama sent me to the spring, she told me not to stay
F                     C                                     F
I fell in love with a pretty little girl, and could not get away


[Chorus]
F               C                    F
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
F               C                    F
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
