Miller's Cave - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
For almost 5 decades I thought this song was written by Harlan Howard, depending on credits from a deceptive compilation album cover. Nope. Reading Jack Clement's memorial I found the responsible for this odd, but catchy song. Howard *could* have written this; they were both prolific songwriters in the same genres.
This is certainly not a true story, but Miller's Cave really exists.
This song is most often heard in Bobby Bare's version from 1964, but was first released by Tommy Tucker Jauary 1960, then by Hank Snow and Dicky Lee, following a lot of others. It usually rises sharp with the two last verses. I play it starting G major, switching to A major and finish it B major. The song is that simple, so I leave with You only G key.
