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 my very first tab. I tried my best to be accurate with the chords.
If you want to play the album version you have to mantain the capo in the 5th fret.
If you want to play the live version from the Folk Circle you have to put the capo on the 4th fret.

Allong the verses there is the same strumming pattern.
