I Love this song, and you did a great job on it. I found this old book at a small book store that was a folk blues compilation back from the 50's. It has this song and a lot of others I think I might start going through it and taking some of the lyrics and applying the basic blues chord changes and seeing what happens haha.
Thanks people. That is a good song. Here is what Wikipedia said about 8 bar blues:
An eight-bar blues is a typical blues chord progression, taking eight 4/4 bars to the verse. "Heartbreak Hotel", "How Long Blues", "Trouble in Mind", "Ain't Nobody's Business", "Cherry Red", and "Get a Haircut" are all eight-bar blues standards. Eight bar blues progressions have more variations than the more rigidly defined twelve bar format. The move to the IV chord usually happens at bar 3 (as opposed to 5 in twelve bar.)
"Worried Life Blues" (probably the most common eight bar blues progression):
I I IV IV
I V I IV I V
I I I I
IV IV V I
"Key to the Highway" (variation with the V at bar 2):
I really like your singin' n' the guitar playin' is great too ! I really liked the whole feel n' sound of it.
Mighty quick turnin' off that camera tho'...hadda' pee, or what ? :o) Good job man. I thought this was great !
nice job,I like how chords sound on a CBG i cant do em on the 1 i made me,Is your fretted?I like the old timy vibe you have very traditional,i like it.
Trouble in Mind.
Classic 8 bar blues from 1926 by Richard M. Jones.
(D) Trouble in (G) mind, I’m (D) blue.
But I (G) won’t be blue al (C)ways.
Cause’ the (G) sun's gonna shine in (D) my back door (C) some da- (G) ay.
Goin’ down to the River. Gonna take my rockin’ chair. If the blues don’t leave me, I’m rockin’ out of here.
I’m gonna lay my head on a lonesome railroad line. Let the 2:19 train pacify my mind.
Trouble in mind, I’m blue. My heart is beatin' slow. Aint had so much trouble in my whole life before.
Repeat verse one. A song of despair tempered by hope and faith. In my case, the Son of God shines in my back door most every day. I like this song on mando using lots of 7th chords. Here it is on CBG in open G. God bless.

Thanks, Cris and Russ.
That's a great performance for the song I first heard from Cisco Huston.
I've watched several of your videos and have enjoyed them all.
