Dark Was the Night Cold Was the Ground - Cover - Open D

Hi everyone, here is my cover of the great 'Dark was the Night, Cold was the Ground' by Blind Willie Johnson recorded in 1927, almost 100 years old! This is not a 100% accurate cover of the song, but my representation of it. I love this song and like many songs I do it turns out different each time I play it. It can depend on mood, time of day, and more. I will probably post more versions of this song later, but for now here is this version. This song is also floating in space on Carl Sagan's Golden record on Voyager spacecraft. It is played on my Gretsch Honey Dipper guitar.
