"Happy birthday, Joe Bean"
===========================================================
This song is all strumming.  Over the spoken introduction 
he strums a G chord once before speaking, and then once for 
every other beat in a verse.  The second-to-last strum (on 
"today") is arpeggiated, and the last (after "twentieth 
birthday") is done one string at a time.  He's not keeping 
time, but I guess if the last two chords were tabbed it 
would look like this:

e|-------------------|
B|-----3-----------3-|
G|----0----------0---|
D|---0---------0-----|
A|--2--------2-------|
E|-3-------3---------|

The main body of the song is standard Johnny Cash 
strumming.  He plays some bass notes independent of the 
chords sometimes, but there's no real picking pattern.  

The first verse only consists of four lines.  The rest are
all six lines long.

In the fourth verse, on "It's not up to me, but this much, 
Joe Bean, I'll do," he interrupts the rhythm of his 
strumming.  He strums G on "not" and mutes the strings.  
He plays arpeggiated chords on "me" (C chord), "much" 
(G chord), "Bean" (D chord), and "do" (G chord).

The last line, "Happy birthday, Joe Bean" is sung without 
the guitar, to the tune of the first line of the happy
birthday song.


Chord formations:
There is a capo on the third fret, and he mutes the high E 
string through the whole song.
