Get No Better by John Hartford
Get No Better
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
The chord progressions was pulled from a banjo forum and the lyrics from a
bluegrass forum.
The chord progression works great on the guitar or ukulele and is the same
throughout the song.
This song was originally mislabeled on the album Nobody Knows What You Do as
“Joseph’s Dream”
but that is an entirely different song.
Chord Progression Is The Same Throughout
