I sure hope this link works. Jerry is definately not playing the song in F it is in Eb. Like a D slid up 1 fret. then Bb F and Dm.The whole song revolves around that pattern
lemme try this.
Eb Bb
Thought I heard a blackbird singin'
F Dm
Up on Bluebird Hill
Eb Bb F
Call me a whinin' boy if you will
Eb Bb
Born where the sun don't shine
F Dm
And I don't deny my name
F C Bb
Got no place to go, ain't that a shame
But it's the chorus that has me confused.
The first line I think I've got figured out.
Gm C
So many roads I tell you
A7 Dm
So many roads I know
Bb F Eb
All I want is one to take me home
But the second line is played a bit different. Something like
Gm C
Mountain high, river wide
A7 Dm
So many roads to ride
Bb F Eb
So many roads - so many roads
Dm C
Yeah! I guess that is right. You just have it in the wrong key. And I saw Bob and Ratdog play it in the same key a couple of years ago.
Oh yeah. And the intro goes G F C then you slide up the 2nd and 4th string alternating until the 8th fret.
I was close enough to see Bobby's hands. I actually got a big kick out of it. It was Halloween and I was dressed up as Jerry which is a pretty easy thing for me to do.
I have a shirt with a picture of Jerry on it, and people that don't know who it as think it is a picture of me. While people that do know who it is ask me if it's a pic of Jerry or a pic of me trying to look like Jerry.
I went down front for a while and Bobby looked at me and had to do a double take. Then he cracked a grate big smile. And the stage manager gave me a copy of the set list. (That was kewl!)
I would have loved to get a chance to meet Bobby. I look like Jerry and I was born on Bobby's 13th B-Day. Tomorrow (Oct 16th) I will be 48 and Bobby will be 61.
I'll always know how old Bobby is juat by adding 13 to my own age.

I guess the tab thing didn't work. But I think y'all get the idea.
