http://www.charliepooleonline.com/ Goodbye Booze Charlie Poole This is my arrangement of this old country song recorded by Charlie Poole in 1926. The original was played on banjo. You can strum the chords but it sounds better using a picking pattern with a lively country feel. The original recording can be found on YouTube along with a number of covers. The chords in brackets are optional and should be played as beats 3 and 4 before returning to the major chord for the next bar. I have only formatted this on the chorus but the same pattern should be played throughout. The optional chords are tabbed at the bottom of the page but they are really quite simple modifications to the major chord. The lower case letters represent a walk up from G to C and should be played on the bass strings i.e. g = 6th string 3rd fret, a = 5th string open, b = "5th string 2nd fret. They should be played as beats 2,3 and 4 of the preceding G chord.
