============================================================ "Cradle of the Interstate" by Nanci Griffith from the Movie Soundtrack, "Falling from Grace" Starring John Cougar Mellancamp and Mariel Hemingway Producers: John Cougar Mellencamp, Mike Wanchic Recorded at Belmont Mall Studio, Belmont, Indiana. Label: Mercury, Released: Feb 18, 1992 Chart by Terry Day: e-mail: [email protected]
============================================================ This song is relatively easy to play, even if you aren't a seasoned finger- picker, as, for the most-part, there are no real intricate finger-picking patterns. Simply pick the bass string and then the 321 or 421, whatever you like. It's actually more complicated, but it'll still sound good. (The bridge is strummed down only.) If you need help, or you hear something I didn't, please e-mail me at: [email protected]. ============================================================
