Ring Around-A-Rosy Rag Arlo Guthrie
OK, first up, Arlo's website has the 'official' chords on it.
http://www.arlo.net/resources/tablature/display.php?file=ring-around.chopro
But speaking as a rank novice, I found the D minor to B flat chord switch was a
tad tricky which was a shame as this song's a real crowd pleaser!
Anyway, I found a way to cheat a bit and make the whole thing more novice friendly
- transpose the chords down 5 semitones and capo it to the 5th fret to get it back
into key. It makes the chords way easier to play!
1) [C]I had a friend, a [E7]friend you could trust
[Am]Went into the [F]park and got busted
[C]Doin' the [D7]Ring-Around-A-Rosy-[G7]Rag.
[C]Went to the park, [E7]late at night
[Am]Ring-Around-A-Rosy in the [F]middle of the night
Yes, we [C]all should do the [D7]Ring-Around-A-[G7]Rosy-[C]Rag[G7]
Ch) Ring around, ring around Rose
Touch your nose and blow your toes
And mind after doin' the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag.
Ring around, ring around Rose
Touch your nose and blow your toes
And mind after doin' the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag.
2) We ought to send Officer Joe Strange
To some Australian mountain range
So we all could do the Ring-Aroud-A-Rosy-Rag
Would you like to put Philadelphia upthight, one mass
Ring-Aroud-A-Rosy in the middle of the night
Yes, we all should do the Ring-Aroud-A-Rosy-Rag
Ch)
[C]Touch your [E7]nose and [A7]blow your toes
And [D7]mind after doin' the [G7]Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag.
