View Guitar Chords for Old black rum - chords ver. 2
The chordings for all the other versions of this song didn't sound right to me. So I decided to try it myself. The song has a root of F major, so all the chords are in relations. Thanks to Tim & Cheryl Wartman for doing the original chording and words.
