WELCOME HOME – DAVE DOBBYN TABBED BY: SIMZYofNZ (28/04/06)
This is my own interpretation of another brilliant piece by a brilliant NZ artist.
I have played this at heaps of events and it’s a great sing-a-long piece that I have
also taught children in the schools I have visited. Enjoy it! The intro is by no means
accurate but I just figured this little ‘ditty’ myself when the song was first played
on the radio and it sounds quite nice!
Any comments or feedback: write2simzy@gmail.com
NB: You can try a capo on the 2nd fret or anywhere for that matter – It’s a great song
in any key!
Enjoy!
