guitarist with his ability to play and sing while also playing 
harmonica. His playing styles include everything from fingerpicking 
like on his classic song "Needle And The Damage Done" , to strumming 
on songs like "Old Man", and classic "Hey Hey My My" to being able 
to crank it up with loud amps and distortion on tunes like "Rockin 
In A Free World". This lesson teaches the easy to play versions of

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me 
To mean that much to you
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were  x2
