Hello Folks: I'm new to the group, and hope it's okay to post request
for tablature here. I realize there is a folk.tablature group, but
there doesn't appear to be any activity there.

Anyway, could anyone please share with the the guitar chords for Don't
Fence Me In? I'm musically challenged, and can't quite figure it out
for myself.

I am building a repertoire of essential songs to play and sing for our
baby, and am open to any other suggestions you might all have.

Thanks for the help,
MartyLane
