E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| 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#) Riff 1 (played during verses): F C F E|----1------|----0----0------------|----1--1-1--| B|----1------|----1----1------------|----1--1-1--| G|----2------|----0----0------------|----2--2-2--| D|--3----2-0-|-------2---------0-2--|--3---------| A|-----------|--3---------3-3-------|------------| E|-----------|----------------------|------------| 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + Riff 2 (played during chorus): F C F E|----1------|----0----0------------|----1--1-1--| B|----1------|----1----1------------|----1--1-1--| G|----2--0---|----0----0------------|----2--2-2--| D|--3------3-|--0----2---------0-2--|--3---------| A|-----------|------------3-3-------|------------| E|-----------|----------------------|------------| 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + F C F 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
