Hey flatpickers, this is folksy Irish-styled song written in 3/4 time. You may have to listen to the
recording to get the timing right. I couldn't find lyrics or chords so I made them all up (there is a
version up at riffstation.com that has chords only, but some of them are a little off). Let me know
if I misheard a lyric or chord in the comments. Watch out, there's a C#m hiding in the bridge.
Have a nice jam session.
No Capo
Standard tuning
