Biography:
Pete Seeger (May 3, 1919 - January 27, 2014) was an American folk singer, political activist and author, and a key figure in the mid-20th century American folk music revival. He is particularly loved as the author (or co-author) of the songs Where Have All the Flowers Gone, If I Had a Hammer, and Turn, Turn, Turn. One of his brothers is Mike Seeger; Peggy Seeger is his half-sister.
As a member of The Weavers, Seeger had a string of hits, including a 1949 recording of Leadbelly's "Goodnight Irene" that topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950.

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!
There are a few tabs of the Peter, Paul, and Mary version of this song,
which is somewhat different than the original. So this is my attempt to
write out the chords from Pete Seeger's version, based on a live recording
from The Essential Pete Seeger (the studio version is played on banjo).
Feel free to comment with suggested corrections, as I know it isn't exactly
correct.
