We Did Our Best

We Did Our Best John Hartford Going Back to Dixie Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of:G 3/4 time G C You and me, we had our time G We learned to make our way C G You said prayers, I passed the hat D7 G Back in the good old days We worked the bars, we worked the park And we worked the old fairgrounds Then we counted up our change Till the rides all closed down We travelled around, the best we could And slept where we layed down We cleaned up in old back rooms And we ate what food we found You even pressed my old top hat And the spotlight set us free You held my hand, we did our best To get over you and me Instrumental:
