Hi everyone. This is a simple but beautiful song, taken off of Rayland's first
album "Feathers & Fishhooks". Please listen to the song before playing to get the
strum and the cadence down. Note that there are many recordings on the internet
which might not match this exactly, however this is the version he plays on the
album. Rayland plays the song in C formation with a capo on the 1st fret (Key of D). Enjoy! Matt
Count in on C...
