Border Lord
Border Lord was a 1972 album from Kris Kristofferson which didn't achieve much success at the time. He took quite a bit of flack from music critics as well for the album being well below his earlier work.
There was only one single from the album and this song was not it, instead they released one called Josie. That song charted at #70 in the US.
Chords And Strumming
This one has a down down up down up pattern and a shuffle down up down up pattern as well. There is a bit of G bass in her as you'll see with the chords E, A, B, D, and G. A few riffs but no lead in standard tuning.
