***I've played this song around the campfire as a counselor, and have broken it down into a very simple structure so I can teach those around me that are just beginning, as well as making it easy on me by the end of the week! haha. I've picked it up in 3/4 time with a down-up-up pattern. My mom plays it as down-down-up-down-up, which sounds a little fuller and is a little bit faster. Any suggestions or comments, feel free to leave a note!*** Optional Intro: C Em Am F G C Iown. I met (guitaretab.com)
