Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is a cool & funky chord version of David Christie's 1982 "Saddle Up" (and ride your pony) hit.
It's pretty simple, although you might want to listen to the song to get the basic rhythm. I use bar chords
to get a more percussive feel to the song. Suggestions welcome. Enjoy!
Dm, G, F, A7, A, D
[Chorus]
Dm

G
sit around and you'll be lonely.

The first step is the longest when the wind is blowin' strongest.
