Traditional - Froggie Went A Courtin' Chords

Froggie Went A Courtin'
(arr. by Bruce Springsteen from the album "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions")
4/29/06
NOTE: This is how Springsteen plays it...I've seen versions with fewer chord changes.
      This sounds pretty good to me...and it's pretty easy, to boot...
