Cale, chords and lyrics [The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set] [Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set] [Some characters may be displayed incorrectly] Hi Steve, there are fans also in Germany. I live in a small village in Northern Bavaria (100 km north of Nuremberg in Frankonia). I've got many informations about J.J. in Your "unofficial Homepage". Especially the lyrics are very usefull, for I'm playing guitar and my English is not very well. One of my favourite songs played by J.J. is "Miss Ol' St. Louie" (Guitar Man). Your transcribition is not yet complete, so I've tried to find out the missing chords. Here they are. Perhaps you can use it in your homapage.
