Bluegrass Progression

Here's a neat chord progression I use for a Bill Monroe tune called "When The Golden Leaves Begin To Fall":

...............A..........A7............D........Dm......
I left the one that I loved in the mountains

.....A.......F#m..........B7...Bm7....E7......
And all the love we've shared

.............A...................A7................D........Cm6b5......
But at night when she'd kneel by her bedside

.......................A.........E7..........A..........

I know she called my name in her prayers
