Alex Jones tweets about the LA fire and the latest Rudyard Lynch history 102 podcast about the Bronze Age collapse made me want to play this old Roy Acuff song.

Can anyone point out the chords and tuning to me?

Well I found this video that shows the chords really good. I don't understand how others figure this out on their own.

It appears to be G, C, and D7

Hi. That's a fun tune. He's playing in "classic" C tuning gCGBD, using mostly C and G or G7 chords, with an occasional F chord in the chorus.
To get to that tuning from G tuning, simply drop the 4th string two frets to C. The C chord is the same as in G, but with the fourth string open. G is the fourth string second fret. G7 is the G chord plus the first string third fret. F is second string, first fret, third string, second fret (like D7), and first string third fret. I usually use the little finger for that note.
It's a wonderful tuning, neglected in recent years.
