This is rearranged to be in the original recording’s Key of G, including the addition of missing incidental chords. An Intro and Outro have been added along with a strumming pattern. There are some minor wording changes to match the original recording with the last stanza of Verse 3 totally rewritten to match the original recording. This tab is displayed in accordance with new UG standards that show the chords above the words with all the repeating choruses shown to aid an artist using the Autoscroll feature.Essa informação foi útil?

You can listen to how they do this on their “The Kingston Trio” album.  Here is the

Best of the ones available on UG. Chords are good! The link to a Youtube recording is valuable, and worth an extra star.
