Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard Chords & Guitar Lesson

Welcome to my Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard chord chart by Waylon Jennings. This was a request from a student so I wanted to work out and a way to play this. Very cool song with some alternating bass going on here.

This song will be played with a Capo at the first fret of the guitar. The Chords we have are A, E and B unfortunately, but you can always play a power chord for the B chord if you aren’t keen on barre chords.
